I write numbers like my favorite fonts do. ᛐ, not ᛁ. ４, not 丩. Something like ㇋/ℨ/Ჳ, not З. And 7, not 7̵.
I write "a" as shown here.
Me too
I used to use the slash on 7s when I was in Jr high because it was legit and nobody did it.
But, like... Why? What purpose does it serve? It's not like the slash through a 0 to differentiate it from an O.
In my country the slashed 7 became mandatory in the national curriculum in the 1930's. Our military strongly requested this in order to achieve better accuracy in artillery fire control - in those days every calculation was done by hand and mixing 1's and 7's could easily have deadly results.
This practice was quickly adopted by the whole population and it was a great success with no drawbacks. The slashed 7 makes it impossible to mix 1's and 7's, therefore it is the superior choice.

Shame that software always registered my dashed seven as a 1 because you can't lift the pen
Of course we are better than Computers! Who the hell write seven as 7 anyway
This is the reason why ChatGPT keeps asking people where the nuclear codes are kept.
