{.} also orthographic representation -- at least I've seen it used as
such in the Klingon and Lojban community, and picked it up from them.
(Possibly because Klingon includes the apostrophe as a letter and
Lojban the full stop, and enclosing them in braces makes it easier to
see what's being quoted than, say, using double quotes.)
