Hello again!
Thank you all for your efforts and prompt answers to my inquiry. It was however a complete failure, and here is why: What came out as a "questionmark" was meant to be something entirely different. What I meant to put in there is a Greek letter (the 12th letter in the Greek alphabet) generally used to indicate "micro" in various engineering applications. So, with this, new, description of the symbol, can anyone describe its meaning when found in a sea chart in connection with, i.e., a beacon? /Stu "Stu" skrev i meddelandet ... Hello Does anybody out there know what the prefix "?" means in combination with i.e. a beacon symbol. Is this the right group to ask this kind of question? If not which one is the right one? /Stu |

Oh, that's easy. Its a Greek chart! What do I win?
Seriously, is there some reason why you can't tell us what chart this is on? It isn't a standard symbol on US charts, in fact I don't recall ever seeing "non-English" characters on a US chart.

It is a Swedish chart. Sweden uses the "Chart number 1" symbolic scheme for
its charts. I too have never seen any "non-English" characters on a chart from the western world before. That's why I am puzzled and that is also the reason for my question. /Stu "Jeff" skrev i meddelandet . .. Oh, that's easy. Its a Greek chart! What do I win?

I think you have mistaken the symbol yet again. My Norwegian list of chart symbols is not going to differ from Swedish and does not contain any abbreviations which are not common to English alphabet. Perhaps someone has scribbled on your chart. |
