11<li>Additionally, <em>Old Standard T</em> corrects the <code>+ss06</code> feature provided by <em>Old Standard</em>. This feature is supposed to distinguish between regular and ‘curly’ beta (β/ϐ) and to print ‘curly’ beta (<code>U+03D0</code>) in medial position. This feature works in most cases with <em>Old Standard</em>. However, it fails if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the <em>Greek extended</em> Unicode block.</li> 11<li>Additionally, <em>Old Standard T</em> corrects the <code>+ss06</code> feature provided by <em>Old Standard</em>.
