Baffling. I'm only finding "1/2" and "%" used as Shift-5. Can't find any reference to "r." at all—never heard or seen of this. Hard time thinking that either "1/2" or "%" would be written for short as r.!

Definitely need to see if you can find some typewritten correspondence from the period—maybe etched reproductions in a book of typewritten letters?—to see if the superscript r is there?

Also found a claim that the tricolon (shown here as "|") is "for parentheses, braces, etc." https://books.google.com/books?id=GfI5AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA9178&dq=%22q+w+e+r+t+y+u+i+o+p%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdx_K3jMHhAhWVMX0KHT2CCjMQ6AEIMDAB#v=onepage&q=%22q%20w%20e%20r%20t%20y%20u%20i%20o%20p%22&f=false …pic.twitter.com/hiWU1GuTw9
