Handling primary sources in TEI XML
4. Non-Unicode characters
The <g> (gaiji) element stands for any non-Unicode character. Its content can be a local approximation to the desired letter (or nothing); its @ref attribute points to a definition for the required character or glyph.
<!-- in text --><g ref="#x123"/>
or
<g ref="#x123">x</g>
in header:
<char xml:id="x123">
<!-- character definition here -->
</char>
