Should unicode characters be marked as figures, such as the symbol for oz and dram? Markup teams continued to do this, but want to discuss this and make a decision. [It doesn’t make sense for them to be figures, some of us think]
DECISION: no, unicode symbols do not need to be marked up as figures. Remove from any existing cases (thumbnail picture doesn’t have to go in) -- see #121 But might need alt text tags to make sure a search for eg ‘mercury’ also picks up the symbols See #55
Need a glossary subset of abbreviations/measurement symbols and alchemical symbols; these should also come up as a roll-over comment in the text See the table of symbols in the 2018 Markup Protocol Transferred to #122
The one persistent action item of this issue has become: Create alt text for each unicode symbol based on meaning
