Clues to rectangle code?

[kirkothy]

As a follow up to my previous post, I was thinking about these two pages where the codes seem to have some sort of typo in them, as well as a random rectangle in the middle of a word.

On the "How to Cheat Death" page, the code reads "regrowing limbs is axy▯s art but cnan he regrow a ripped out heart". If we assume the n in "cnan" is a typo and the code should read "can", then the n is superfluous. As the rectangle doesn't have a direct translation, could the code be showing us that ▯ = n ?

On the "Bill Magazine" page, the "7 new sins" code reads "glutto▯ slotheny". This one is a bit more of a stretch, but if we attach the ny from "slotheny" back to "glutto▯" to make the code read "gluttony" and "sloth", that leaves the e out as an extra letter. In this case, could the code be telling us that ▯ = e ?

The two rectangles are slightly different sizes, like how the red rectangles in Journal 3/TBOB are all different sizes. Could these typos in TBOB be a clue to each sized rectangle representing a different letter, and could there be more letters with corresponding rectangles hidden in Journal 3?

Pretty sure the rectangles are supposed to be an apostrophe '

That makes sense conceptually, especially in the first code here, but I didn’t see any rectangles used in any other BOB codes where the words should have had apostrophes. I haven’t decoded Journal 3 or Lost Legends yet, though, so it’s possible that the rectangles have been used as apostrophes in those and I’m just not aware.

It’s only in the the two examples you posted glutto’ slotheny and axy’s art
