Examples

“I was well done-up myself when I got to the top, and was more than pleased to rest⟳ a little and look⟳ down upon fading Yen-tʻai (the Chinese name⟳ for Chefoo), before the hills would shut⟳ it from my sight for weeks.”

“The Japanese had established their position on a line running nearly east and west about half-way between Yen-tʻai and the Sha River. It was in fact exactly parallel to the branch railway connecting Yen-tʻai with the Yen-tʻai mines.”

“The smallest incidents were to serve⟳ as pretexts for demonstrations of force⟳ and for demands for indemnities and reparations which increased China's subjection. For example, in 1876 China was constrained to sign⟳ the Conventions of Chih-fu (near Yen-tʻai, in north-eastern Shantung) with Great Britain after the murder⟳ of an English interpreter on the borders of Yunnan and Burma; the result⟳ was five new 'open⟳ ports' on top of the fifteen or so already existing.”
