Notes about modern transcription:
The editor transcribes the text into modern Chinese using modern equivalents of the character. Since this is not always possible, the following conventions may be used.
□ or □ A single character is missing or unreadable
⧄ Unsure if a character is missing or how many characters may have been lost.
[…] Lacuna, characters missing not restored by editor.
[越] missing or damaged character restored by editor.
[C+C], [C over C], [C + (C over C)] etc. is used to describe a character that does not have a modern Unicode equivalent.
Examples: 𫑛 = [戉+阝];
叴= [九 over 口]
敔=[(五 over 口)+攵]
[???] I presently cannot transcribe the character!
{吳} Character considered erroneous and superfluous by the editor.
⟨越⟩ A character restored by the editor, when the original is thought be a mistake in the original text.
戉 (越), The character in parentheses is suggested by the editor as the conventional form in standard Chinese orthography, either a modern form or loan character.
𣄨 (旗 – 祈) The editor is indicating that the first character in the parentheses is the modern form for the preceding character, and the second character is how that character that expected to be understood in the text. Here 旗 is the modern standard orthographic form of 𣄨, but the editor suggests that it should be understood as having the meaning of 祈.
