Edit: Is it just me, or do the examples of this symbol in writing look nothing like each other, nor like the Unicode symbol they adopted?

I mean, beyond just being a marker denoting the end of a work, it seems like it was the scribe's own little flair - like a visual signature.

I guess it being generified in Unicode is the only real tradeoff you *could* make.

Looking at the examples, I think a signature or watermark is almost definitely the best way I would describe a coronis

Based on the examples this looks acceptable: 🐦

Funny ?

I'm a pedant for spelling and punctuation and I genuinely don't get it.

The Exclamation makes the theoretical anxious person imagine the other person as excited, but ending with a period makes the anxious person imagine the other person hates them.

Ok, thanks for helping me understand. I went back and re-read it and that makes sense. Cheers.
