strange "ct" bridge symbol.

This text includes a strange character I have never seen before. Whenever the letters "ct" are placed next to each other in a word, (protect, Affection), a loop forms connecting the top of the t to the top of the c. See this page for an example. Should this be included in the final transcript, and if so, how? --Legofan94 (talk) 21:56, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Historical latin ct ligature. There used to be a template for it, but I think it was deleted. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:35, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Well spotted! I don't think any harm is done to the text if these are transcribed simply as "ct". MartinPoulter (talk) 20:36, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
