Member hra… Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You've just given me an idea: start with the Fleischmann-style "y"... hhp Link to comment
Member qua… Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 As there are other languages in which the word for "and" is one letter long, I thought of suggesting y + и + &, and, in fact, the и can even be made into a unifying design element... I am still dubious, as it would seem to only make sense if the ampersand was meaningful and used with some frequency in the languages in question. But there may be some bilingual display contexts where such a symbol might have some use... Link to comment

Member rs_… Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah, it's funny how the & is now perceived in Spain and Latin Amercia as an English glyph when it's also natural and correct in Spanish. A simple and Spanish friendly variation of & could be achieved by placing the Y's fork on the tail of the ampersand by separating the leg from the upper bowl. Link to comment
