\subsection{\textSourceText{swsh} – Swash letters (italic only)}
Produces swash versions of several capitals: \textex{\textit{\addfontfeature{Style=Swash}A Æ D J}}. There are three swash
versions of Q\,, selected via index (if indexing of \textSourceText{swsh} is supported by your
application): 1=\textex{\textit{\cvd[2]{33}{Qui}}},
2=\textex{\textit{\cvd[4]{33}{Qui}}}, 3=\textex{\textit{\cvd[3]{33}{Qui}}}.
Note that swash versions of Q can also be selected with \textSourceText{cv33}. Swash Q is not permitted in
word-final position; there plain italic Q is substituted. Also, if Q with extended tail might collide with
a following letter, another appropriate form of Q is substituted. There are also swash versions of lowercase
e and k: \textex{\textit{\addfontfeature{Style=Swash} e k}}. These are only permitted in word-final position:
\textex{\textit{\addfontfeature{Style=Swash}elevate, skylark}}.

The result is different,
depending on whether the language is English or Irish (make sure the language for your document is set
properly). In English text, capitals are not affected (except W), as these do not not commonly have
properly). In English text, capitals are not affected (except W), as these do not commonly have
insular shapes in early manuscripts; instead, enter the Unicode code points or use the Character Variant
(\textSourceText{cvNN}) features. In English text, ss02 imitates the typography of the Old English
passages of Hickes’s \textit{Thesaurus}, not the usage of Old English or Anglo-Latin manuscripts. In

Converting a document from visual image to Unicode-encoded text adds a good bit of value all by itself, but only if done
with due regard for the semantics of Unicode characters. Every Unicode character has a meaning, and that meaning is a
help to readers. Using the wrong character is a hinderance to readers, even it if \textit{looks} right.
help to readers. Using the wrong character is a hinderance to readers, even if it \textit{looks} right.

For example, in transcribing a Middle English text, you may decide that the Unicode ezh (\char"0292,~\unic{U+0292}) looks more like
the yogh in your source than the Unicode yogh (\kern+1.5pt\char"021D,~\unic{U+021D}) and therefore decide to use it for yogh. But the ezh is
