Proofreading Marks and Signs Identification

Proofreading marks are symbols and annotations used by proofreaders and editors to indicate corrections, changes, or suggestions on written documents. These marks help communicate specific instructions to writers, typesetters, or designers for improving the accuracy and quality of the text. Below are some common proofreading marks:

Insertion Mark:

- Symbol: Caret (^)

- Usage: Used to indicate where text or punctuation should be added.

Deletion Mark:

- Symbol: Stet (⸮)

- Usage: Indicates that a previously marked deletion or change should be ignored and the original text should be retained.

Transpose Mark:

- Symbol: Arrow with crossed lines (⇔)

- Usage: Indicates that two letters or words should be swapped or transposed.

Spacing Mark:

- Symbol: Three vertical dots (...)

- Usage: Indicates where spaces should be added or adjusted between words or sentences.

Close Up Mark:

- Symbol: Squiggly line (~)

- Usage: Indicates that words or letters should be closer together to reduce spacing.

Capitalize Mark:

- Symbol: Capitalization mark (⇧)

- Usage: Indicates where text should be capitalized or where capitalization should be removed.

Lowercase Mark:

- Symbol: Lowercase mark (⇩)
