It is a proofreaders mark with languages with long words. The L-shape is "Split the word here" and same with arrow-squiggle on top is "Do it at the next syllable or not at all". For example words "YÖ-KLUBI" and "YÖK-LUBI" have different meanings. Source: I have seen Finnish proofreaders marks.
- bombcar 5y agoThis sounds plausible but I can't search Finnish enough to find examples.
- timonoko 5y agoYou can find German marks "Korrekturlesen Zeichen". The L-shape is described in DIN 16511, but cannot find the opposite.
- bombcar 5y agoHere's DIN 16511 https://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/sv/lehre/korrekturzeichen.pdf https://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/sv/lehre/korrekturzeich... for anyone interested. Perhaps someone in Finland could dig further? It might be a bit strange to have proofreader marks for proofreading marks, but maybe something slipped in. "oikolukumerkit" found an image with more than just the DIN referenced marks, but not much more.
