  cat 是 con__cat__enate 的缩写。第一版手册对 cat 的介绍是 concatenate and print[^1]:16 [^2]:1597,今天的多数版本则径作 catenate and print。Kernighan & Pike 说 cat 源自 catenate,又补充道:“Catenate” is a slightly obscure synonym for “concatenate”[^3]:15。Hahn 则直接说 cat 代表 catenate 而非 concatenate[^4]:344。拉丁语 con- (< cum) 有时确无实义,但这里可否略去还需研究。

In LaTeX\LaTeX, writing the\_long\_underscore\fbox{\verb|the\_long\_underscore|} yields the_long_underscore\fbox{\text{the\_long\_underscore}}, which looks too long when appearing in source code listings. (Here in KaTeX\KaTeX it looks not that long.) One solution is using the underscore from a monospaced font instead.

According to Wikipedia:

Many ligatures combine f with the following letter. A particularly prominent example is fi. The tittle of the i in many typefaces collides with the hood of the f when placed beside each other in a word, and are combined into a single glyph with the tittle absorbed into the f. Other ligatures with the letter f include fj, fl, ff, ffi, and ffl. […] These arose because with the usual type sort for lowercase f, the end of its hood is on a kern, which would be damaged by collision with raised parts of the next letter.
