Some amazing stuff at Princeton as part of the Form and Function show. The symposium kicks off soon here, and I'll be opening with some sort of ramble.

i like the fake devanagari on this sign 1. for the obvious reason, that इ is an actual character, but also 2. because it looks like they are using the IPA symbol for retroflex /ʈ/ here

a vertical sign in fake devanagari reading Chutneys.

If it's possible to abbreviate 飜譯 as 飜睪, dropping one half of the 2nd character, you can of course do this to the 1st character as well, here (even twice) with 番 for 飜. 2/

A scribe's dwindling willingness 😅 to write out the same characters time and time again (here hon'yaku 飜譯 'translation'):

飜譯 (right)
飜睪 (center)
飜ー (left)

The funny thing is: This is from three consecutive lines on the same page of this manuscript. 🤓

Maybe it's rather intended to be like the frame of a seal or sth, not necessarily as part of the character as such?
