I switched to the middle one because I couldn’t tell my sevens from my ones 😅
Does no one write their 1 as a simple line down?
1 do, buy sometimes it can be important to make sure you mean I and not 1 (and definitely not l) if you're writing a code of some kind.

Underline your danged ones.
I make my underline too wide which makes it unsuitable for anything but 1 by itself :(

You draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because it looks better.
I draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because I have the handwriting of a goblin and my ones and sevens often look similar otherwise
We are not the same
It's more about making it not mistakable for a 1.
Yeah it's important for me because I have shit handwriting. I also draw zeroes with a bar in the middle because one of my college teachers used to subtract 1 point on tests for every zero with no bar.
We all hated that but tbh I'm glad I have that good practice ingrained in my brain now because I can't accidentally mix up 0 and O
Me drawing 1s with a bar under them 🧐
Me when the 1 looks a lot like a 2 😔

I started slashing my 7s and 0s in university; it's just easier to distinguish them thanks to the abundance of Greek letters, symbols, and notations used in engineering. Also my bad printing was further marred by constantly nodding off while taking notes, so anything to improve clarity.

I spent 10 years in research, slashing your 7's and 0's is absolutely required in data keeping. Every intern/tech I had got the handwriting lesson.
I also change how they wrote capital G after too many "is that a 6 or a G" moments.

Doubly so if you're a le sir who Ø
I have strong feelings about this one because that is the only reasonable way to clearly distinguish numeral from letter
Well, most of the time. There's this bastard: Ø.
That's a letter, not a zero. Second-to-last letter in the Danish and Norwegian alphabets. We Swedes use Ö instead.
what about putting a dot in the zero? like in monospace fonts?
ʘ ← kinda like this but squished

VII
0000 0111
yk, the zeros are unnecessary. It's like 00007
True, but it's an old habit to keep it at an even 8 bits and it's a visual placeholder for me, s'all. Also, I can't even remember the last time I worked with a nibble, even with simple MCUs.

~~7~~
Prof from Germany explained that 1 in Germany has a flag so 7 must have a slash. Seemed good enough of a compromise to slash all the 7s and give 1s flags and feet.

this is a dashed seven thread. we don’t take kindly to straight-topped threes. double-bubble eights are also not “one of us”, nor are angle-ticked ones (if you’re gonna tick a one you better give that tick a curve). slashed and dotted zeroes are ok, but naked zeroes are heresy. overly-hooked 6s and 9s make us feel uncomfortable. triangled fours are the worst, though.

Damnit....take my upvote
If one were truly ascended, one would write 七.
It's like it's wearing a bow-tie 🤵
That's just 7 with extra steps.
