While Papyri.info have implemented some of the TEI and EpiDoc mechanisms
for recording abbreviations and other non-unicode symbols, they use a
fairly simplified method (symbols are not given when expanded to a full
word, e.g.). The fuller EpiDoc Guidelines on the subject at
http://www.stoa.org/epidoc/gl/latest/trans-abbrevsymbol.html and
http://www.stoa.org/epidoc/gl/latest/trans-abbrevmark.html (while they
could do with some fuller examples and documentation) give a bit more
detail on the recommendations there.
EpiDoc handling of ligatures
(http://www.stoa.org/epidoc/gl/latest/trans-ligature.html) and symbols
(http://www.stoa.org/epidoc/gl/latest/trans-symbol.html) are similarly
minimalist, but more complex examples would be very welcome.
Would you be willing to share some of the examples behind (I suspect)
your question, Giuseppe?
Best,
Gabby
