2. While Brill Epichoric contains some basic punctuation marks (and lots of specialized Greek epigraphic ones), including the square brackets [ ], it lacks some others such as the question mark.

Brill Epichoric also lacks all Latin characters and Arabic digits 0-9.

Should any of these prove to be necessary, they must be specified from another typeface, for instance the Brill fonts.
