The following list is derived from indicators used in a variety of
crosswords: the letters in the left column are the letters being
indicated; the right hand column is how these letters might be
indicated in a clue.

Caveat emptor: many of the entries in this list would be considered
unsound in some puzzles (some of these unsound indicators are marked
with a +). Entries marked * are used mostly in advanced cryptics.

I would welcome corrections and additions to the list.
