A very similar sign (i with right half ring) is used in old egyptological works. I wonder whether it could be considered a glyph variation of one of these: 0313 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE 0343 COMBINING GREEK KORONIS The reason for the distinctive "half ring" shape could be that the diacritic sign was often handwritten with a pen over typeset or typewritten text. _ Marco
