g (character or glyph) represents a non-standard character or glyph; type indicates the name of the decorative symbol, e.g. leaf..
ex (editorial expansion) contains a sequence of letters added by an editor or transcriber when expanding an abbreviation.
hi (highlighted) marks a word or phrase as graphically distinct from the surrounding text, for reasons concerning which no claim is made.
Where a Chi-Rho symbol appears, it may have a range of different semantic values (abbreviation or logogram for "Christ" or "Christian"; a general nonverbal indication of faith or affiliation; ligature of Χ and Ρ outside of any Christian context), or the editor may prefer not to give any interpretation of the import of the symbol. The examples below show a few of the ways in which this variety might be handled.
A Unicode value (for example U+2627) may be used inside the g if desired.

Instead of using type in g, as the project providing this example did when this was the suggested way of encoding, the recommended use of <g[@ref]> in Symbol (Non Meaning-Bearing) should be preferred now.
