Editing Tironian notes (section)

==Support on computers==
The use of Tironian notes on modern computing devices is not always straightforward. The Tironian {{lang|la|et}} {{angle bracket|⁊}} is available at {{unichar|204A|Tironian sign et}}, and displays (e.g. for documents written in Irish or Scottish Gaelic) on all common operating systems: on [[Microsoft Windows]], it can be shown in [[Segoe|Segoe UI Symbol]] (a [[font]] that comes bundled with Windows Vista onwards); on [[macOS]] and [[iOS]] devices in all default system fonts; and on Windows, macOS, [[ChromeOS]], and [[Linux]] in the [[Free software|free]] [[DejaVu fonts|DejaVu Sans]] font (which comes bundled with ChromeOS and various Linux distributions). On the Microsoft [[Windows 11]] Scottish Gaelic keyboard layout, the ⁊ can be entered by pressing {{kp|[[AltGr]]}}+{{kp|[[7]]}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdgae |title=Scottish Gaelic Keyboard

Some applications and websites, such as the online edition of the ''[[Dictionary of the Irish Language]]'', substitute the Tironian ''et'' with the [[box-drawing character]] {{unichar|2510|box drawings light down and left}}, as it looks similar and displays widely. The numeral 7 is also used in informal contexts such as Internet forums and occasionally in print.<ref>{{cite book |last=Cox |first=Richard |title=Brìgh nam Facal |date=1991 |publisher=Roinn nan Cànan Ceilteach |isbn=978-0903204-21-7 |page=V}}</ref>
