?? the initials of the person who wrote the note ?? Explanation: The only \"Ru, rU, RU or ru\" abbreviation shown in Reuther & Reuther Medizinisches Wörterbuch, Langenscheidt or Duden is \"Ru\" for \"Ruthenium\" which would not be too plausible in your context. Most likely would be the initials of the person who wrote the note. Unfortunately for you, however, the abbreviation could also stand for a place or institution. Sorry that I have no 100% sure answer for you. |

this is called a "Diktatzeichen" Explanation: "/ru" is an abbreviation of the typist's name (not necessarily the same person who dictated it and would thus be considered the sender). And in all likelihood, ru are not initials, but rather the first two letters of the typist's last name. Diktat- oder Schreibzeichen can be written in a number of different ways, one of which is with a preceding slash.
