[#]Unicode bases its names on history and usecases. Thus, the following names are non-schematic (turned/inverted/reversed) and that is nothing special:

ᴚ is U+1D1A LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL TURNED R

ᴙ is U+1D19 LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL REVERSED R

ʶ is U+02B6 MODIFIER LETTER SMALL CAPITAL INVERTED R

ʀ is U+0280 LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL R

The videos of the #arXiv Accessibility Forum are online on youtube. Topicwise I am especially interested in “HTML papers on arXiv” including @michaeldcurran, @dginev, and @norbu

Last Friday, I gave a talk on digital typesetting targeting people familiar with analogous typesetting (composing stick, lead letters, … and stuff). My slides are available here:

https://lukas-prokop.at/talks/2024-11-08_druckzeug/slides.pdf

The PDF section was easy to create because of @frischefarbe's splendid series “What is PDF?” https://news.speedata.de/2024/03/19/insidepdf-01/

The OpenType section was a breeze to create because of @simoncozens's eBook “Fonts and Layout for Global Scripts” https://simoncozens.github.io/fonts-and-layout/

thank you!
