Note the & as the 27th character. The word ampersand is a corruption of the phrase "and per se & (and)", meaning "and intrinsically the word and (represented by the symbol &)".[2] Traditionally, when reciting the alphabet in English-speaking schools, any letter that could also be used as a word in itself ("A", "I", and, at one point, "O") was repeated with the Latin expression per se ("by itself").[3][4][5] This habit was useful in spelling where a word or syllable was repeated after spelling; e.g. "d, o, g—dog" would be clear but simply saying "a—a" would be confusing without the clarifying "per se" added. It was also common practice to add the "&" sign at the end of the alphabet as if it were the 27th letter, pronounced as the Latin et or later in English as and. As a result, the recitation of the alphabet would end in "X, Y, Z, and per se and". This last phrase was routinely slurred to "ampersand" and the term had entered common English usage by 1837.[4][6][7] However, in contrast to the 26 letters, the ampersand does not represent a speech sound—although other characters that were dropped from the English alphabet did, such as the Old English thorn, wynn, and eth. Through popular etymology, it has been falsely claimed that André-Marie Ampère used the symbol in his widely read publications and that people began calling the new shape "Ampère's and".[8] History[edit] Evolution of the ampersand The modern ampersand is virtually identical to that of the Carolingian minuscule. The italic ampersand, to the right, is originally a later et-ligature. Et ligature in Insular script Example of ampersand based on a crossed epsilon, as might be handwritten. Some modern fonts, like Trebuchet MS, employ ampersand characters that reveal its origin The ampersand can be traced back to the 1st century A.D. and the Old Roman cursive, in which the letters E and T occasionally were written together to form a ligature (figure 1). In the later and more flowing New Roman Cursive, ligatures of all kinds were extremely common; figures 2 and 3 from the middle of 4th century are both examples of how the et-ligature could look in this script. During the following development of the Latin script that led up to the Carolingian minuscule (9th century) the use of ligatures in general diminished. The et-ligature, however, continued to be used and gradually became more stylized and less revealing of its origin (figures 4–6).[9] The modern italic type ampersand is a kind of "et" ligature that goes back to the cursive scripts developed during the Renaissance. After the advent of printing in Europe in 1455, printers made extensive use of both the italic and Roman ampersands. Since the ampersand's roots go back to Roman times, many languages that use a variation of the Latin alphabet make use of it. The ampersand often appeared as a letter at the end of the Latin alphabet, as for example in Byrhtferð's list of letters from 1011.[10] Similarly, & was regarded as the 27th letter of the English alphabet, as used by children (in the US)[citation needed]. An example may be seen in M. B. Moore's 1863 book The Dixie Primer, for the Little Folks.[11] In her 1859 novel Adam Bede, George Eliot refers to this when she makes Jacob Storey say: "He thought it [Z] had only been put to finish off th' alphabet like; though ampusand would ha' done as well, for what he could see."[12] The popular Apple Pie ABC finishes with the lines "X, Y, Z, and ampersand, All wished for a piece in hand". The ampersand should not be confused with the Tironian "et" ("⁊ "), which is a symbol similar to the numeral 7. Both symbols have their roots in the classical antiquity, and both signs were used up through the Middle Ages as a representation for the Latin word "et" ("and"). However, while the ampersand was in origin a common ligature in the everyday script, the Tironian "et" was part of a highly specialised stenographic shorthand.[13] The Tironian "et" ("⁊ ") is found in old Irish language script, a Latin-based script generally only used for decorative purposes today, where it signifies agus ("and") in Irish. This symbol may have entered the script language by way of monastic influence in the time of the early Christian church in Ireland. Writing the ampersand[edit] In everyday handwriting, the ampersand is sometimes simplified in design as a large lowercase epsilon (Ɛ) or a backwards numeral 3 superimposed by a vertical line. The ampersand is also often shown as a backwards 3 with a vertical line above and below it or a dot above and below it. The + sign is often informally used in place of an ampersand, sometimes with an added loop and resembling ɬ. • Glyph No.1 of writing Ampersand[14] • Glyph No.2 of writing Ampersand[14] • Glyph No.3 of writing Ampersand[14] Usage[edit] Ampersands are commonly seen in business names formed from partnership of two or more people, such as Johnson & Johnson, Dolce & Gabbana, Marks & Spencer, A&P (supermarkets), and Tiffany & Co., as well as some abbreviations containing the word and, such as AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph), R&D (research and development), R&B (rhythm and blues), B&B (bed and breakfast), and P&L (profit and loss).[15][16] In film credits for stories, screenplays, etc., & indicates a closer collaboration than and. The ampersand is used by the Writers Guild of America to denote two writers collaborating on a specific script, rather than one writer rewriting another's work. In screenplays, two authors joined with & collaborated on the script, while two authors joined with and worked on the script at different times and may not have consulted each other at all.[17][18] In the latter case, they both contributed enough significant material to the screenplay to receive credit but did not work together. In APA style, the ampersand is used when citing sources in text such as (Jones & Jones, 2005). In the list of references, an ampersand precedes the last author's name when there is more than one author.[19] (This does not apply to MLA style, which calls for the "and" to be spelled.[20]) The phrase et cetera ("and so forth"), usually written as etc. can be abbreviated &c. representing the combination et + c(etera). The ampersand can be used to indicate that the "and" in a listed item is a part of the item's name and not a separator (e.g. "Rock, pop, rhythm & blues, and hip hop"). The ampersand may still be used as an abbreviation for "and" in informal writing regardless of how "and" is used. Computing[edit] Encoding and display[edit] The character in Unicode is U+0026 & AMPERSAND (HTML & · & ); this is inherited from the same value in ASCII. Apart from this, Unicode also has the following variants: • U+FE60 ﹠ SMALL AMPERSAND (HTML ﹠ ) • U+FF06 ＆ FULLWIDTH AMPERSAND (HTML ＆ · in block Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms) • U+214B ⅋ TURNED AMPERSAND (HTML ⅋ ) • U+1F670 � SCRIPT LIGATURE ET ORNAMENT (HTML 🙰 ) • U+1F671 � HEAVY SCRIPT LIGATURE ET ORNAMENT (HTML 🙱 ) • U+1F672 � LIGATURE OPEN ET ORNAMENT (HTML 🙲 ) • U+1F673 � HEAVY LIGATURE OPEN ET ORNAMENT (HTML 🙳 ) • U+1F674 � HEAVY AMPERSAND ORNAMENT (HTML 🙴 ) • U+1F675 � SWASH AMPERSAND ORNAMENT (HTML 🙵 ) The last six of these are carryovers from the Wingdings fonts, and are meant only for backward compatibility with those fonts. On the QWERTY keyboard layout, the ampersand is ⇧ Shift + 7 . It is almost always available on keyboard layouts, sometimes on ⇧ Shift + 6 or ⇧ Shift + 8 . On the AZERTY keyboard layout, & + is an unmodified keystroke, positioned above A . In URLs, the ampersand must be replaced by %26 when representing a string character to avoid interpretation as a URL syntax character. Programming languages[edit] In the 20th century, following the development of formal logic, the ampersand became a commonly used logical notation for the binary operator or sentential connective AND. This usage was adopted in computing.

  • The Elements of Abbreviation in Medieval Latin Paleography
    The elements of abbreviation in medieval Latin paleography BY ADRIANO CAPPELLI Translated by David Heimann and Richard Kay UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIES, 1982 University of Kansas Publications Library Series, 47 The elements of abbreviation in medieval Latin paleography BY ADRIANO CAPPELLI Translated by David Heimann and Richard Kay UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIES, 1982 Printed in Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A. by the University of Kansas Printing Service PREFACE Take a foreign language, write it in an unfamiliar script, abbreviating every third word, and you have the compound puzzle that is the medieval Latin manuscript. For over two generations, paleographers have taken as their vade mecum in the decipherment of this abbreviated Latin the Lexicon abbreviaturarum compiled by Adriano Cappelli for the series "Manuali Hoepli" in 1899. The perennial value of this work undoubtedly lies in the alphabetic list of some 14,000 abbreviated forms that comprises the bulk of the work, but all too often the beginner slavishly looks up in this dictionary every abbreviation he encounters, when in nine cases out of ten he could ascertain the meaning by applying a few simple rules. That he does not do so is simply a matter of practical convenience, for the entries in the Lexicon are intelligible to all who read Latin, while the general principles of Latin abbreviation are less easily accessible for rapid consultation, at least for the American student. No doubt somewhere in his notes there is an out­ line of these rules derived from lectures or reading, but even if the notes are at hand they are apt to be sketchy; for reference he would rather rely on the lengthier accounts available in manuals of paleography, but more often than not he has only Cappelli's dictionary at his elbow.

  • Characters for Classical Latin
    Characters for Classical Latin David J. Perry version 13, 2 July 2020 Introduction The purpose of this document is to identify all characters of interest to those who work with Classical Latin, no matter how rare. Epigraphers will want many of these, but I want to collect any character that is needed in any context. Those that are already available in Unicode will be so identified; those that may be available can be debated; and those that are clearly absent and should be proposed can be proposed; and those that are so rare as to be unencodable will be known. If you have any suggestions for additional characters or reactions to the suggestions made here, please email me at [email protected] . No matter how rare, let’s get all possible characters on this list. Version 6 of this document has been updated to reflect the many characters of interest to Latinists encoded as of Unicode version 13.0. Characters are indicated by their Unicode value, a hexadecimal number, and their name printed IN SMALL CAPITALS. Unicode values may be preceded by U+ to set them off from surrounding text. Combining diacritics are printed over a dotted cir- cle ◌ to show that they are intended to be used over a base character. For more basic information about Unicode, see the website of The Unicode Consortium, http://www.unicode.org/ or my book cited below. Please note that abbreviations constructed with lines above or through existing let- ters are not considered separate characters except in unusual circumstances, nor are the space-saving ligatures found in Latin inscriptions unless they have a unique grammatical or phonemic function (which they normally don’t).

U+0021 EXCLAMATION MARK and ? U+003F QUESTION MARK, and it encodes ¡ U+00A1 INVERTED EXCLAMATION MARK and ¿ U+00BF INVERTED QUESTION MARK for use in Spanish, Asturian, and Galician. The Standard also encodes a fusion of the first two, ?! U+203D INTERROBANG, a mark which was devised in 1962 by Martin K. Speckter for use in asking a question in an excited manner or expressing excitement or disbelief in the form of a question. The Standard does not, however, provide its inverted counterpart for use in Spanish, Asturian, and Galician. The Wikipedia notes that some people have called this character the GNABORRETNI (interrobang spelled backwards). The French name of this character would be, I believe, POINT EXCLARROGATIF RENVERSÉ. It should be noted that this proposal is not “inventing” the character; it was invented quite some time ago. “Gnaborretni” itself has a rather small Google presence, and many of the references there suggest that there are some implementations of it. The page css.sfu.ca/nsg/cssnetdocs/latex2e/ A dc/dcdoc/node10.html gives a short list of LTEX characters, which turns up in a number of different sites. A full character set which contains both of the characters is listed at www.tug.org/tex- archive/fonts/lm/fonts/enc/dvips/lm/ts1-lm.enc and Unicode discussion list contributor Jörg Knappen’s page at www.tug.org/ftp/pub/pub/ historic/fonts/dc-ec/ec-1.0/tc-chg.txt shows that on 1995-07-22, he “Added interrobang and gnaborretni” to the font.
