No, I don't think it's 02BE (especially since it goes in the other 
direction.  You mean 02BF.  But I don't think it's that either).  Note 
the thickness at the top.  That isn't a half-ring.  It's pretty clearly 
an 02BD on that page, whereas on the page before, it's just as clearly 
an 02BB.  Or I guess another lesson to be learned is they weren't 
terribly picky.  Which I guess is good, because I don't want to have to 
fret about "gee, we need a boldface 02BB for capitalized Volapük..."  
There's a reason they dropped that letter.
