      Yup! That's the "per" symbol. Not one I've ever had a chance to investigate, unfortunately.

      Do these originate in Tironian notes? They seem like very specific abbreviations.

      I don't know offhand, I'm afraid, but they look to be a little too ornate for that. I'll have a look again when I have a spare moment.

      These are in any case characters frequently used in Early Modern manuscripts and prints, for Latin and other Romance languages. If the keyboard was intended for archivists, the characters are required for accurately transcribing titles, etc.

          Looks quite similar in the Inland Printer, even though the body text is set differently, for whatever that's worth https://archive.org/details/inlandprinte318851886chic/page/522?q=%22type+wheel+and+the+outer+edges%22 …pic.twitter.com/zhthfyrwcV
