transcription, транскрипция: [ n. ]
A small, crock y feature that sticks out of an otherwise clean design. Something conspicuous for localized ugliness, especially a special-case exception to a general rule. For example, in some versions of csh(1) , single quotes literalize every character inside them except ! . In ANSI C, the ?? syntax used for obtaining ASCII characters in a foreign environment is a wart. See also miswart .
