TMSS originally prescribed two special characters: the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_(letter) Greek letter Nu] and an [[ø]] (''o'' crossed by a slash). To enable ASCII only typing, these were replaced with the Latin letter ''v'' and number ''0'', respectively. Because mixing numbers into words is problematic for spell checkers, ''0'' was subsequently replaced by ''Q''. For convenience, ''Qe'' can generally be replaced with ''oe'' (the distinction between these two sounds is blurred in common usage). | TMSS originally prescribed two special characters: the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_(letter) Greek letter Nu] and an [[ø]] (''o'' crossed by a slash).
