Nemeth Code Rules
RULE XXIII--MULTIPURPOSE INDICATOR
Multipurpose Indicator "§177. Use of the Multipurpose Indicator: The multipurpose indicator must be used in the situations below for the specific purposes described and, when used in these situations, it must not be regarded as the base-line indicator:
i.
The multipurpose indicator must be used before a modified expression as an
indication to the reader of impending modification. See Rule XIV for additional information and examples.
ii. The
multipurpose indicator must be used between a letter and a succeeding numeric
symbol to indicate that the corresponding numeral is not a subscript to the
corresponding letter. However, when the letter represents a numeral in a
numeration system to a base other than 10, it must be regarded as a numeral
and, accordingly, the multipurpose indicator must not be used.

iv. The
multipurpose indicator must be used between two symbols of comparison to
indicate that the corresponding signs of comparison are printed horizontally
and not vertically (see §149).
v. The
multipurpose indicator must be used after the decimal point symbol to indicate
that the symbol which follows it is not numeric unless that symbol is the comma
or the punctuation indicator.

vii. The
multipurpose indicator must be used between two vertical bars of which the
first is a closing grouping symbol and the second is an opening grouping
