In looking at another artificial language. I noticed a feature that might
be usedful in Lojban.

Quite often, a word from another language (such as a proper noun, new
scientific term, word that not yet has been translated, ore a standard
acromym) might have to be used. Rather than enclosing it in quotes or
italicisin, I suggest that the work be preceded by a  unusual symbol to
indicate that it is "imported" from another language. I had seen the carat
^ used for this: for example  in the Lojban to English dictionary, the word
ENGLISH is used in the title. This could be changed into ^ENGLISH to
signify that it is a Proper noun from another language. Other possible
symbols that are obscure in the standard ASCII expanded set migh tbe
considered, rather than the carat, such as a single brace {,   emoticon[?],
or other ususual symbol.

Consider adding a symbol prefix to mark off words "imported" from another
language.
