Continuous underline symbol
I wonder if an editor familiar with this subject would have a look at underline#Continuous underline symbol (⎁), please? It only has two lines and the second is a supposition than needs a citation and/or a correction. Thank you. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:28, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- For your convenience, this is the current text of the section:
In Canadian French, it is correct orthography to underline the masculine and feminine ordinal indicators and standard keyboards are engraved accordingly:[1] a symbol, an underlined 'letter a with ellipsis' (U+2381 ⎁ CONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SYMBOL), is available to document this use.[citation needed][a]
.- Comments welcome. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:13, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

- ^ There are no explicit codepoints for the underlined forms of the ordinal indicators: these are allographs of the Unicode standard glyphs U+00AA ª FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR and U+00BA º MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR and thus the underlined forms are obtained using an appropriate font.
Anglicisms in Canadian French
I've seen "char" for "car" quoted as being an Anglicism. This is not correct. Char is an old French word for a cart. Exists also in English, albeit no longer in use, in the (French) term char-à-banc (pronounced sharrabang in English, sometimes abbreviated to sharra). In French it's literally a cart with a bench, an early expression in English for what we would now call a coach. 2A06:61C1:77D7:0:5166:DB6B:B6D5:5C32 (talk) 12:51, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
