Value versus glyph

It may be cleaner to separate the value Zilde from the glyph Zero-tilde. I think Zilde refers to the value and not the glyph because I'd feel comfortable saying of a scalar that its "shape is Zilde". --Marshall (talk) 12:58, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

You might feel comfortable with that, but the glyph (with no inherent value) it is actually called "apl functional symbol zilde" by Unicode. Zilde is surely the zero-tilde glyph while the value is the empty numeric vector. Adám Brudzewsky (talk) 14:30, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
