A nice approach! Thanks!<br>

As Daniel, we use the <g> element, e.g. <g <br>
corresp="src:idIBUBdwG9XU3NGkkQi0UjnryUQg0" ref="#G1" />. We can <br>
transform our <g> element -> <g <br>
corresp="src:idIBUBdwG9XU3NGkkQi0UjnryUQg0" ref="#G1"></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI Historic",sans-serif">𓄿</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt"></g><br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
