RFV discussion: January–February 2012
RfV for the typographic sense =,. It has been listed as a synonym in our entry for undefined: since I added it in December 2007, when I added it from the list of alternative names given in Caron (undefined: was added to undefined:, undefined:, undefined:, and undefined: by an anonymous editor in April 2006); I added this sense to undefined: just now, so as to open this verification request for it. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 19:50, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I found this 1996 quot. which supports that typographic sense. Also, the ninth nominal sense given by Dictionary.com for wedge is "haček." — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 19:50, 7 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I added two more quotations (1982, 1999) under that sense. I also added a tag because, whilst it seems to be pretty common in US usage, it's nowhere to be seen in UK sources (an assertion supported by a glance at which dictionaries include the relevant sense of undefined:, for which see háček). In my opinion, this sense is now verified. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 03:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
