Reference for use of uppercase 'J' as a substitute for
I've asked this question at the language reference desk: WP:Reference_desk/Language. Please feel free to answer there or here. Best wishes Polyamorph (talk) 09:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That discussion resulted in some references - while they do not discuss the use of J as a substitute for I or 1, they are examples of historic use. Since the sentence simply states it is possible to find historic examples, in my opinion this isn't WP:OR. I have added the references to the article. Polyamorph (talk) 14:16, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

 * the source does not have to be in Arabic, the citation needed relates to the transmission of the numeral via Arabic texts. the reference you provided is not in English so I've been unable to verify where the relevant information is. Do you have a page number? Or an English language source? Polyamorph (talk) 10:46, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

 * You should read between the lines that "1 is the smallest possible absolute difference". i.e. the difference between 3 and 4 is |3-4| = |4-3| = 1. Dhrm77 (talk) 19:02, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
