    Also also autistic people of lemmy:

    Would you like a lingusitic history lesson?

    Perhaps I could interest you in Icelandic?

    … maybe we can settle for the ‘long s’, written sort of like an f with no crossbar ( ſ ), or sometimes even approaching the modern integral symbol of calculus?
