#oscarmamen — Public Fediverse posts

Good morning!
Today I'm working at the Ethnographic Library at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo; the day is dedicated to proof-reading the #OscarMamen #DigitalScholarlyEdition and peer reviewing the #DSE Handbook.

Hei #DigitalScholarlyEditions #TEIXML crowd!

🙋 I have a question for you: have you ever used the #Unicode symbol for insertion of a character or word into a text, U+2380 ⎀?

Or how would you encode the insertion mark in a text?

In the #OscarMamen pocket diaries, the insertion mark is used frequently and I would like to encode it somehow.

Suggestions? Examples?

I feels that I cannot get any good results googling anymore: #Enshittification of the search engine, I guess...

As of today, I have digitised & for the most part done HTR on:
- pocket diary 1912
- pocket diary 1913
- pocket diary 1914
- diary/notebook 1901-1911
- diary/notebook 1912-1913
- diary/notebook 1913-1914
- diary/notebook 1937
- diary/notebook 1938
- typewritten manuscript "Atter Et År i Østen" (1938)
- typewritten and handwritten misc. documents, incl. field notes, sketches, inventory lists, letter drafts, book excerpts (1937-1938)

Today, on May 9th, 1912, from the Chinese market town Maimaching to the east of the Mongolian capital #Urga (now #Ulaanbaatar), #OscarMamen writes in his pocket diary:
