    Wouldn't the ф as well?

    Isn't that what everyone is doing, or are we Frenchmen the exception?

    For reference if the author reads this, we write the latin x exactly like the cyrillic х, i.e. reverse c, bottom-left to top-right diagonal, normal c.

      Not if you write it as qo for lower case and oJo for capital.

        Oh nice, I was taught to write it first a “barless small-case f”, then an “infinite” in the middle.

    Usually writing small, in all-caps, except code: in lowercase, and the "t" and "i" retain their lower curve. Cursive is difficult; easy to write and (later) hard to read.

    Can see how penmanship there would be appreciated.
