    Rather less important than the oddly modified letters (chiefly just small)
    in the received text of the Old Testament, and they aren't encoded. Their
    only chance of being encoded should be as symbols in other usages, as for
    the fancy forms of 's' that were encoded (or was it just proposed?) for the
    modern critical apparatus.
