That looks to me like Gurmukhi, according to your list. Anyway, thanks for the info on the origins of the symbol — very cool!
You’re right, it’s Gurmukhi. I skipped a line in reading what I’d written.
Both depending on circumstances. If there’s any ambiguity I will write it the European way, but most of the time I’ll use do the Hindu way. I write very little though and the vast majority of it is numbers on credit card receipts. There’s enough context in there that I rarely use the European style.
I am incapable of writing the number 7, much like being unable to write the emotion happiness.
OTOH:
I write the (Arabic) numeral with a slash.
I write the Roman numeral VII.
I write the word “seven”.
Etc.
The unambiguous way, which, for some reason, this thread is calling “European.” I also slash my zeros unless I’m writing in a Nordic tongue.
Always with a slash.
With fangs and a big muscley arm.
With a slash.
As a little kid I was taught the slashless version, but when I got to high school my math teacher used the slash. I thought it looked cool so imitated him.
By the time I grew up enough to realize my original motivation for using the slash was pretentious, it was no longer an affectation on my part but had become completely natural; I had also noticed that it was a good way to avoid mixing up 7s and 1s. Living outside the US most of my adult life just reinforced that the slashed version was normal.
The thing I now struggle with is dates. Having mostly lived where the normal way to write a date is, for example, “21 Oct 2019,” that is the way I automatically write and have for years. But now that I’m in the US, I know that it’s not done that way and that I’m at best possibly confusing, at worst pretentious if I use the international standard. So I am trying to train myself out of it and go back to “Oct 21, 2019.” It looks weird to me though.
European. Picked up the habit in my high-school German class.
Anther possible 7, I used to have a clock (traditional 12 hours dial with hands) where the 7 had a loop at the bottom so that it was exactly like the 2 inverted.
Same here.
I include the slash and the serif on the top left. I’m pretty deliberate with all my numerals. One has serifs top and bottom; top of three is strait; four is angled, open and crossed. I don’t cross my zeroes; I couldn’t get it to look good and it reminds me of the empty set symbol, which isn’t zero.
I slash my 7s and Zs. Now my 7s are always confused with 2s. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to write a check for $.50 for my health insurance because the amount ends in .73, they read it as .23, and send me a note threatening to cancel my health insurance because I did not pay in full.
As a kid in Norway I was taught the slashed version and never stopped. I also slash zeds. My ones are just a straight line. My 4s are the upside down h of a calculator.
For me, plain seven has no slash. Seven-bar is reserved for 7 divided by two-pi.
