==Current== [[File:Pay and Display sign with Tironian et for Irish agus.jpg|thumb|A bilingual [[pay and display]] sign in Dublin with the Tironian {{lang|la|et}} for the Irish {{lang|ga|agus}} ('and').]] Just one Tironian symbol remains in common use today, the Tironian {{lang|la|et}} ({{char|⁊}}, equivalent to {{char|[[&]]}}), used in Ireland and Scotland to mean ''and'' (where it is called {{lang|ga|agus}} in [[Irish language|Irish]] and {{lang|gd|agusan}}<ref>{{cite web |last1=Dwelly |first1=William |last2=Robertson |first2=Michael |last3=Bauer |first3=Edward |title=Am Faclair Beag – Scottish Gaelic Dictionary |url= http://www.faclair.com/?txtSearch=agusan |website=Faclair}}</ref> in [[Scottish Gaelic]]). ===Recent historic=== {{uncited section|date=March 2024}} [[File:Fliegende Blätter Band 1 (München 1845) Nr. 21 S. 168.png|thumb|left|upright 1.5|[[R rotunda]] substituting for Tironian {{lang|la|et}} in the abbreviation {{lang|de-Latf|etc.}} in a German print from 1845]] In [[blackletter]] texts (especially in German printing), it was still used in the abbreviation {{char|⁊c.}} meaning ''etc.'' (for {{lang|la|[[et cetera]]}}) throughout the 19th century.{{cn|date=March 2024}} However, as not all typesets included a [[sort (typesetting)|sort]] for the {{angbr|⁊}} character, the similar [[R rotunda]] {{angbr|ꝛ}} was substituted (which produced {{char|ꝛc.}}).
