What is the appropriate Unicode assignment for the LXX sigla in BHS (&
elsewhere)--the Black-Letter Capital S? (see BHS, Sigla, p. XLV)
There are several Black-Letter characters listed in the "Letterlike Symbols"
range, but not S.
There is also a note in the online Unicode NamesList re. "Fraktur symbols...
This style is sometimes known as black-letter." There is a MATHEMATICAL BOLD
FRAKTUR CAPITAL S, but in the code charts it looks nothing like the
Black-Letter capital S in BHS. Is this just a glyph variation? Or is there a
better slot for this?
And in what font might I find such a glyph? I find nothing in Gentium,
Palatino Linotype, Cardo, Times New Roman, Titus Cyberbit Basic, Lucida
Unicode, or even Arial Unicode.
