𐌎

Alternative definitions (0), class: vernacular (0)
Term: 𐌎
Definition:

A URL beginning with http:// or https://. Pronounced "esh" (the 15th letter of the Etruscan alphabet), it may be followed by a literal DNS domain name, a variable domain name, or (no domain) a URL pathname beginning with "/". The plural form is 𐌎es. As a verb, it means to transform an identifier into an actionable 𐌎.

Examples:

When discussing URLs, 𐌎/foo is a compact way to write and pronounce something like https://www.example.org/foo. Two hypothetical web server namespaces can be referred to as 𐌎A and 𐌎B. Legacy, pre-Internet identifiers can often be 𐌎ed by adding suitable prefix strings, promoting them to actionable, globally unique identifiers. The 𐌎 symbol is suggested by drawing the individual letters of "HTTPS" on top of each other (superimposing them).
