Hello, UniCoders! I read your message about numerical digits. In my experience, I've
seen the digits & their variants:
DIGIT 0 (ZERO) 0
DIGIT 0 SLASHED
DIGIT 0 WITH CENTRAL BULLET DOT
DIGIT 1 1
DIGIT 1 STRAIGHT
DIGIT 1 WITH LEFT BROKEN ARROWHEAD
DIGIT 1 WITH BOTTOM SUPPORT SERIF
DIGIT 2 2
DIGIT 2 Z-LIKE
DIGIT 2 WITH TILDE-LIKE BOTTOM STROKE
DIGIT 2 LOOPED
DIGIT 3 3
DIGIT 3 LOOPED
DIGIT 3 FLAT (YOGH/EZH-LIKE)
DIGIT 4 4
DIGIT 4 OPEN
DIGIT 5 5
DIGIT 5 WITH SLANTED TOP PART
DIGIT 6 6
DIGIT 6 WITH STRAIGHT FLAT TOP PORTION
DIGIT 7 7
DIGIT 7 BARRED
DIGIT 8 8
DIGIT 8 SCREWED (TOP RIGHT STEM)
DIGIT 9 9
DIGIT 9 WITH STRAIGHT BOTTOM PART
That's 10 digits, with 16 variants (at least 1 variant per digit)!! How many variants
could you recover?!
Thank You!
