I use the styles that provide the most clarity
1s I do with both the hook and pedastel so as not to confuse them with badly drawn 7s or Is
2s with a belly because they can be confused with zs
zs I cross so as not to confuse them with 2s
4s I do with the top unattached because they can look like sloppy As
5s i do with two motions, the downward into hook and then slash the top with a nice straight line. This prevents confusion with S
6 i do with the top curling back down a little bit so it doesn't get confused with a b.
7 I do with a cross to prevent it from looking like some people's versions of 1.
8 I do with one motion because I am a normal human being.
The only thing symbol that I do which looks similar to another symbol is my lower case j's. I make them look like a lower case i that has sunken below the bottom line of the word, because they look fuckin classy.
