Are there a lot of missing overbars in this article, or some other typographic marker for antiquarks? I assume the hexaquark descriptions early on are supposed to be (using Q for q-overbar) "QQQqqq or qqqqqq", where it reads to me as "qqqqqq or qqqqqq".

“Other manifestly exotic hadrons followed, with two exotic hadrons Tcccc(6600) and Tcccc(6900) observed by LHCb, CMS and ATLAS in the J/ψJ/ψ spectrum. They can be interpreted as a tetraquark made of two charm and two anti-charm quarks – a fully charmed tetraquark.”

Not sure if it was deliberate or not, but yeah.
