If you are unable to see some of the characters, or if they appear odd, you may need to use the Latin-1 version of the text. While unicode is fairly complete, it does not have every possible character. In the case of this book, it is missing the characters with a tack ( ⊥) above them. For these characters, they are represented as [+x] where x is the character. i A MANUAL OF PRONUNCIATION FOR PRACTICAL USE IN SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES CONTAINING A CAREFUL SELECTION OF WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOST COMMONLY MISPRONOUNCED, TOGETHER WITH THEIR PRONUNCIATION AS GIVEN BY THE BEST AUTHORITIES IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA BY OTIS ASHMORE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, SAVANNAH, GA.
