It is quite typical for old Slavic or Georgian texts to find a tilde/titlo over more than two characters. E.g. Church Slavonic contractions 'son' and 'saint' are 3 characters at least (depends on case). If number is higher than 99, then in most cases there is more than 2 characters below tilde/titlo (sic! not 3 letters with 3 tildes/titlos, but all the letters below single contraction mark). This feature is common at least for Slavic and Georgian. There should be some general (not Coptic only) encoding for these cases. Or did I miss something? Best regards, Alex.
