<head>Using the Glyph Taxonomy</head>
<p>This Taxonomy is the authority file for the classification of symbols (peripheral graphemes as defined in the Transliteration Guide) for use in DHARMA digital editions. Each entry has a unique identifier or token, displayed in the header of the entry card before a colon. The entries are organised taxonomically into two major classes, that of etic tokens (objectively describing what a glyph looks like) and that of emic tokens (identifying what a glyph means); a limited number of genera within each class (corresponding to a basic shape in the etic class and to a language in the emic class), and a potentially unlimited number of species within each genus and subspecies within each species. Tokens consist of identifiers for a genus and, where applicable, species and subspecies, separated by hyphens. Each part is an uninterrupted string containing only basic (unaccented) Latin letters or Arabic numbers. The letters are normally in lower case, but camelCase may be used when you need more than one word at one level, e.g. doubleBar. A symbol token encoded in a DHARMA digital edition associates a symbol with an entry in this Taxonomy.</p>
<p>In addition to the identifier, each entry includes a name and a description. Names are either very concise indications of the symbol's appearance (in the case of etic tokens), or terms designating the symbol's meaning (for emic tokens). Descriptions contain more detailed, but still concise, information about the symbol, which serves a dual purpose. On the one hand, it informs the reader of a digital edition about a symbol represented in it. On the other hand, it tells the creator of a digital edition how to recognise a symbol in the original text as a member of a particular item in this ontology. Many entries also include a "mapping", which is a Unicode character that is in some way similar to the original symbol.</p>
<p>When an encoded symbol is rendered for display in the DHARMA environment, the mapping (the "equivalent" computer-compatible character) will be shown by preference. If mapping is not available for an entry, then the name of the entry will be displayed. In both of these cases, the display will be completed by a mouseover tooltip showing the description of the symbol.</p>
<p>Neither the tokens, nor the descriptions and mapping equivalents in this authority file are meant to provide an accurate representation of all possible symbols, merely a practical classification. To fulfil this purpose, the taxonomy must remain reasonably small, so that the categories do not overlap and can be objectively distinguished from one another. When encoding an edition, it is always acceptable to use a higher-level generic token rather than a lower-level one whose description does not fully match the original symbol. It is likewise acceptable to assign no token to unique or unusual symbols, i.e. to encode them as "unclassified". Details of original glyphs can always be provided in the palaeographic description of the edition.</p>
<p>Some entries contain alternative identifiers and/or alternative names. Alternative identifiers are for preserving compatibility with earlier digital editions. In newly created editions, always use the primary identifier. Alternative names, usually in source languages, are included for completeness' sake and in order to aid encoders in finding the identifiers for symbols that they might call by a source-language name. Alternative names will not be shown in displayed editions.</p>
<p>Visual illustrations are available for some of the entries, showing either a schematic illustration of what a symbol of the given type looks like, or actual instances encountered in our practice. These serve to help encoders assign real-life symbols to taxonomic items, and to help end-users visualise the symbols in a digital edition.</p>

<head>Etic tokens</head>
<p>This section contains tokens created using English or international terms referring to simple geometric and iconic shapes, for an objective description of what a symbol looks like.</p>
<div>
<head>Vertical bars (daṇḍas)</head>
<p>This subsection (genus) includes symbols that consist of, or are palaeographically derived from, a single vertical bar that is about as tall as an average character body. There are separate sections with dedicated tokens for <ref target="#doubleBar">double bars</ref> and <ref target="#shortBar">short bars</ref>.</p>
