Thank you very much for the reference. On the page http://www.evertype.com/formal.html there is the link http://unicode.org/wg2/docs/n1747.pdf but it does not work. However the page http://www.unicode.org/wg2/WG2-registry.html states The archival document directory for WG2 is accessible here: http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/ The archives contain all available documents through 2014 and the document is at ftp://std.dkuug.dk/ftp.anonymous/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n1747.pdf Actually the character is "inherited" from ISO 5426-2:1996 Information and documentation -- Extension of the Latin alphabet coded character set for bibliographic information interchange -- Part 2: Latin characters used in minor European languages and obsolete typography Hence my curiosity is fully satisfied :-) Thanks again!
