Then in fast handwriting.<br /><br />Then write some zeds with straight lines through them, then with wavy lines. How easy were they to write compared to existing symbols?<br /><br />Further,notice the similarities between the pound (like a zed but with a shorter top horizontal (especially if your script capital zeds loop at the top and bottom), the Rupee (resembles a skewed zed two lines at the top), and the Turkish lira (like a zed formed by writing and L and drawing two lines through it) and note what a pain it is to write scribbly lines in the normal flow of writing. Also note the Zeds resemble crossed out 2s whether one or two horizontal or a vertical strike lines are used). <br /><br />Convention seems to favour the parallel or single lines that appear to suggest continuity or perhaps steadiness.<br /><br />My last attempts have me trying to decide between something like this https://script.byu.edu/Pages/German/letters/f.png (minus the curl on that angled short line) which can be seen as a p with two lines through it which form an up angled zed (though the line/s cutting the vertical stroke could be horizontal), or a simple zed with a double line through it (as per B.E. Andre above).<br /><br />I wonder what others think of the writeability of the various proposals?<br />adtheladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11547876597884642821noreply@blogger.com
