The following is a guide for anyone who is transliterating [[Middle English|Middle]] and [[Old English]] texts.

�, �, � and � appear often in many texts but [[OCR]] software doesn't pick them up most of the time. These can be entered as normal ASCII characters.

Abbreviations should be changed into their full forms because many of the characters used for abbreviation do not exist in '''any''' modern typeface.
* '''Dont change � into 'th' '''
* The macron, "-", over vowels and �n� should be replaced with n, m, er or u.
* _ through the descender of �p� should be replaced with per or par
* The hook, "9", over the end of a word should be replaced with er or es
* "~" over the end of a word should be changed to ur or er
* super script letters directly above others in a word should be moved into the body of the word and expanded (e.g. q with an i above it is 'qui' and � with t above it is '�at'.)
* The 'and' symbol should be replaced with a modern �&�
* ��t should be changed to �at
