 * The standard syllable is CVC with a maximum CC at syllable boundaries.
-* 〈N〉 is a homorganic nasal which is realized as [m] in onsets, [n] when intervocalic, and [ŋ] word-finally.
+* ⟨N⟩ is a homorganic nasal which is realized as [m] in onsets, [n] when intervocalic, and [ŋ] word-finally.
 ** E.g. '''''[[Contionary: nanan#Hakdor|nanan]]''''' ‘name’ = [manaŋ]
-* 〈I〉 and 〈U〉 may be recognized as consonants or vowels depending on adjacent phonemes. The Hakdor language is structured in such a way that nearly every word follows a pattern of CVC(VC), so if they appear adjacent to a consonant, they’re vowels; otherwise, they’re consonants. (The sole exception to the CVCVC rule occurs in verbs when the particle ra is written as a suffix to the verb, resulting in a CVCCV structure.)

 ===Numerals===
-The Hakdor numerals are hexadecimal; that is, base-16. For hexadecimal transcription, 〈A〉 is used to represent ‘ten’, 〈B〉 for ‘eleven’, 〈C〉 for ‘twelve’ , 〈D〉 for ‘thirteen’ , 〈E〉 for ‘fourteen’ , and 〈F〉 for ‘fifteen’. Decimal equivalents are given in parentheses after the hexadecimal.
+The Hakdor numerals are hexadecimal; that is, base-16. For hexadecimal transcription, ⟨A⟩ is used to represent ‘ten’, ⟨B⟩ for ‘eleven’, ⟨C⟩ for ‘twelve’ , ⟨D⟩ for ‘thirteen’ , ⟨E⟩ for ‘fourteen’ , and ⟨F⟩ for ‘fifteen’. Decimal equivalents are given in parentheses after the hexadecimal.
 While there are words for exponents – like hundred, thousand, million, and so on – most numbers are simply read as strings of digits from left to right. So 4EB6 (20,150 in decimal) is spoken: '''''[[Contionary: ual#Hakdor|ual]]-[[Contionary: ruk#Hakdor|ruk]]-[[Contionary: tin#Hakdor|tin]]-[[Contionary: kut#Hakdor|kut]]'''''. As a result, two additional number terms are common in Hakdor: '''''[[Contionary: lalah#Hakdor|lalah]]''''', which we might translate as “double-zero,” and '''''[[Contionary: lalalah#Hakdor|lalalah]]''''', which I’ll leave to you to figure out. So “100” is as likely to be pronounced '''''[[Contionary: kir#Hakdor|kir]]-[[Contionary: lalah#Hakdor|lalah]]''''' as '''''[[Contionary: ren#Hakdor|ren]]'''''.
