Sorry, Dale, I'm not with you. What I mean is that, for example, British books will still almost always use the spelling "encylopædia", with a ligature, rather than use separate letters and spell the word "encyclopaedia". Is there a difference between ligatures such as "æ" and "œ" and the ones we've been discussing previously?
