- Aardwolf 4y agoIt really looks like a capital I in the title to me (with the top serif extending both left and right). It also has ASCII code 73. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/8HuOsqc https://imgur.com/8HuOsqc (same in the article too)
- naavis 4y agoInteresting, you are correct! It actually is an "i" instead of an "l", according to the original scientific paper. My mistake. I assumed it is "al" because a large part of named stars are called "al-something", because the names come from Arabic. But in this case the name of the star actually is "ai hya". Sadly I cannot edit my original comment anymore.
