I've never been a fan of these, but I'm glad none-the-less to have read this origin story, and I should admit that I found it fairly clever.

(The ‘⋅’ over the ‘ɪ’ was added, to keep characters from being confused, millenia after the basic glyph made its original appearance. As a matter of æsthetics, I tend to avoid it in handwriting except in cases where I fear such confusion.)
