1. (Old Latin typography) The sicilicus, written atop a consonant to mark gemination, superseded in Classical Latin by doubling the letter representing the geminated consonant.
   • 1925, Sir John Edwin Sandys, A Companion to Latin Studies, 3rd edition, Cambridge University Press, page 743:

     It is stated by grammarians that a sicilicus or laterally inverted Ⅽ, Ↄ, was placed above a consonant which was to be regarded as a doubled letter.
