<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">In library cataloging under DCRM(B), the Greek character π (pi) should only be used when recording signatures signed with that character. I assume this would also extend to not using it as
a superscript. However, this particular point is moot because <sup>π</sup> (superscript pi) is not in the unicode character set and thus unavailable for use in online cataloging. Clumsy as it is, "[superscript pi]" and "[superscript chi]" is the correct way
to render that information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Here is the statement I have devised. The issue is the duplicated A4 at the beginning. I understand I should use superscript pi ahead of the first one but neither Aleph nor Connexion has such a character.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Is this bracketed awkwardness the best I can do and you will all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">understand it? If I have misunderstood how to convey the situation,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">please advise.<o:p></o:p></p>
