I've seen the End of message signal written as
__
ar

in books to mean that the letters are slurred, or as You say combined,
but when I'm writing a message to another Ham Radio user I just type

ar   without the Line over the two letters.

The use of the "+" sign to indicate End of message reminded me that a
long time ago I read to use the "=" sign when hearing a "Break" signal
sent over the airwaves.

You probably use = also, if You even write it down when copying Code.
Do You?
I always gave every Code Sound a entry on my scratch pad, later I used
my typewriter to do the same thing.
That is unless someone was sending -...- over and over while they were
thinking of what to say next.

I remember in the late 1950's when I got started in Amateur Radio that
another Ham told me he didn't like sending -...- , He would send
.... -- -- --   HMMM and continue sending a M while he was thinking of
what he wanted to say next.

I never heard anyone else using HMMM instead of

--
BT  but thought You might get a grin out of me telling You about it.
