Hi Eliora, I found an edit on ''293edo'' by you [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=293edo&type=revision&diff=81199&oldid=80435 that introduces a placeholder character]. Would you please take another look at this? Thanks in advance. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 17:20, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

* I did that on purpose, as a way to propose notation when there is a large consecutive series in a monzo. If another form is required, I will gladly replace the placeholder character with something else. [[User:Eliora|Eliora]] ([[User talk:Eliora|talk]]) 20:55, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

:: Thanks for the clarification, now it's clear to me what you mean. I think we should by all means avoid the [[Wikipedia:Specials (Unicode block)|Unicode special character]] which is reserved to indicate an encoding error. Using <code>0</code> is much better, even if not ideal (superscript notation is unexpectedly switching from mathematical to linguistic meaning). But you are right, coping with zeros is definitely a weakness of the [[monzo notation]]. <br> BTW: didn't you mean <code>[1590 0<sup>12</sup> 293⟩</code> (alias <code style="white-space:nowrap">[1590 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 293⟩</code>) instead? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:39, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
