Talk:Apex (diacritic)

Merge?

Should this be merged into acute accent? The acute accent must have derived from the apex... FilipeS 11:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Usage?

How widespread was use of the apex? Is it found in a majority of documents? A significant minority? The Jade Knight (talk) 19:30, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Good illustration

I happened upon this stone in Nîmes:

This inscription (CIL XII: 3203) was one of several in the museum with very clearly marked apices. I wonder if it would be worth using it instead of the current photograph, on which the apices show up a little less distinctly? Q·L·1968 ☿ 03:16, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Great indeed. Can we create a gallery? -DePiep (talk) 23:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Not in Unicode?

I did not find the word "Apex" in Unicode character names. Is it encoded in Unicode at all, possibly under another name? Has Unicode published anything about the acute-resemblance? -DePiep (talk) 18:42, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
