Re: Tip/Trick: elision between lyric syllables

[Mats Bengtsson]

It certainly answers a question that has popped up in the mailing list
a number of times, over the years. However, beware that I had problems
to even copy the symbol from the email to my editor (Emacs), so others
may experience the same problem even if the solution is in the manual.

Isn't it strange that there isn't any relevant symbol defined in Unicode 
that
can be used directly, without having to move it around.
