to design the script you have to concern both
clearness and simplicity. It is a balance. So I prefer
not to use circle, for turning circle is meaningless.
A bar can turn 45 degree each time to create four
different symbols. If we put a sign on one end of the
bar, like T or i, we may get eight symbols by turning.
If we put a small bar on one end, one side of the bar,
like L or J we may get 16 symbols. When writing them,
it could be just one stroke for all of these symbols,
yet they are clear. It is a bit like Isaac Pitman
Shorthand writing.
