Talk:Japanese postal mark

How to type 〒
Is it outside the scope of this article to discuss how to type this symbol? I frequent this page simply so that I can copy-paste the postal mark into various documents. I think a short paragraph showing what script it's defined in (Unicode, JIS, etc) and how to type it in Kotoeri and whatever Windows uses would be very useful. Clearly, someone around here knows, but I can't find any info on it for the life of me. 124.215.248.26 (talk) 12:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC) I also think that that would be really useful, and added one sentence to the paragraph about yuubin mark in encoding systems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.112.194.61 (talk) 22:55, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Duuuuh, so I just followed the everything^2 link, and saw how to type it. Should that be here? 124.215.248.26 (talk) 12:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Origins
Could we have some information on the origins of the symbol? --Marnen Laibow-Koser (talk) (desk) 03:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Might someone be able to add some information on the origin of the "bar-T" symbol. I think it might be a derivation of a katakana "te" from "Tei-shin", but this is just a personal theory.  It seems too old to be from "telecommunications", a modern word.  Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.181.130.4 (talk • contribs).

Searched the web: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=%26%2312306%3B Either way, it comes from Teishinsho. Shinobu 11:54, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Merge proposal discussion
I added the merge tag, only because this is the English-language Wikipedia and most keyboards do not support the Yubin Maku. Important info and great stub, though. Chris 19:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * no need to merge, but it should be renamed as something like "Japanese postal mark"--K.C. Tang 01:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Japan postal mark already redirects here. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  06:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * in this case we should delete "Japan postal mark" first, and move 〒 to that name.--K.C. Tang 09:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


 * No need to do that. If needed, I can just move it there. The only history it has is me creating a redirect. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  23:08, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * but we can't move an article when the "new name" is already occupied... --K.C. Tang 00:02, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You can't but I can. I have a magic button. (^_^) ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  04:57, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I actually think it's fine as it is since Japan postal mark already redirects here. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  05:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess it's about naming convention; it seems that we use words, not symbols, for article names, e.g. we have near-open central vowel as the article name, not ɐ. Then perhaps you should work your magic? I don't know...--K.C. Tang 12:41, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
