I'm writing about the IBM 1401 and there's one character from its
character set that I couldn't find in Unicode: the group mark. The
group mark is three horizontal lines with a vertical line through it
(see attached image). This character is used in various books and
publications, so it's a "real" symbol that is used in text. Would it
make sense for me to submit a proposal to add this character?
In may 2007, Ken Whistler answered a slightly more general question on
old IBM characters :
http://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2007-m05/0373.html
The group mark was the more problematic and his answer was :
* You can see it as a glyph variant of ␝ U+241D SYMBOL FOR GROUP SEPARATOR
* You can have a symbol of the same appearance by combining ≡⃒ U+2261
IDENTICAL TO, U+20D2 COMBINING LONG VERTICAL LINE OVERLAY.
However, none of the solution would seem to be really practical, and I
didn’t find any corresponding symbol (including the variants in
http://unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/StandardizedVariants.txt ). A
proposal might help add it to the standard.
