<div class="markdown_content"><p>That is certainly a possible form, but position of the squiggle in Junicode is well attested: see e.g. this example from the Gutenberg Bible. Junicode does have several variant shapes of glyphs--mainly when these are mandated by MUFI, or for backwards compatibility when the Junicode design itself has changed. But I am reluctant to admit too many variant shapes, for the purpose of a font like this is not to enable editors to reproduce the look of their sources, but rather the meaning. There is no possibility of confusion here.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>In Junicode, the design of the glyph for U+E8BF LATIN SMALL LETTER Q LIGATED WITH FINAL ET matches that shown in the MUFI specification. In that design, the character looks like a "q" ligated with a squiggle resembling a numeral "3", with the latter being at nearly full size. But, in all the examples that I have seen of this character in printed works, the squiggle "3" is smaller and wholly below the baseline, attached to the descender of the "q". I have attached two examples of this character, as printed in works from 1574 and from 1850.</p> <p>Is it possible to have an alternate form for this character which more resembles the forms seen in those works?</p></div>
