Summary description: LaTeX commands for enclosing characters in circles, squares, diamonds, or brackets
Announcement text:
In this update, the following points are changed. 1. \period command was deleted. It has never been used since the significance of existence had been absolutely questionable. I finally decided to delete it. 2. New package option tsumesuji was added. 3. New command \zenkakuhabafixer was added. This command is similar to the \ichimoji command, but the vertical scaling is different. For further explanation for the new option and command, please refer to the package documentation.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/kksymbols The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/kksymbols/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
