Default Prefix on a sea chart symbol.

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?

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.

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.
