I am looking for the HTML code for a "scilicet",
that is a "reversed small c sort of followed by a colon".

Any suggestions?

I've just checked on the notepad text file of codes I have - and it
doesn't seem to be there. There is a cedilla, a ligature and lots of
other interesting ones.

Its only 9k if anyone wants it they can email me.

I do not know the entity code but why not use
ss: and style it. Common practice in legal documents at least in the
Anglo world

Surely an idea when writing in English, however I wanted to be as true
to the original document (in Norwegian) as possible, the equivalent
to "ss:" would probably be "dvs." in Norwegian.

Thanks for the link, I have bookmarked it. But I couldn't find a
scilicet there...

I suggest you scan it, or design it in PSP or something, and save as a gif.

Luck,

Yes, that is also a good suggestion.

See the gif (big sigma with an italic L under it) here:

Looks natural, huh? Your need is similar. :)

I haven't seen such a character, and there's nothing under the name
"scilicet" in Unicode. So I guess this is one of the symbols that have
not (yet) been taken into character set standards. (I tried to look for
something similar in the Unicode block "Letterlike Symbols" - after all,
it could be there under some other name - but didn't find anything
promising.)

Using an image seems to be the only possibility then. What you use as
ALT text naturally depends on the language of the document.
