       Hello all,

below is the LaTeX code that produces archaic tartesian" characters
in a picture. I should like to use them as ordinary
characters in ordinary text.
They look simple enough, but I've not found them in any package.
Probably there is a reasonable way to realize them as combinations,
with \hspace and \vspace. How would the LaTeX pros do it ?

\put(0,0){\line(2,0){2}}
\put(0,0){\line(2,3){2}}
\put(0,3){\line(1,0){2}}
\put(0,3){\line(2,-3){2}}

\put(3,0){\line(1,0){2}}
\put(3,0){\line(0,1){3}}
\put(3,3){\line(1,0){2}}
\put(5,0){\line(0,1){3}}
\put(4,1){$\bullet$}
\put(4,2){$\bullet$}

\put(6,0){\line(1,0){2}}
\put(6,0){\line(0,1){3}}
