Yes, you're right!  I had forgotten all about those.  But how to
describe their forms?

For one, you wrote up off the base line as if making a lower-case c.
Then, instead of retracing that line to make the semicircle, you came
straight down to the base line.  Then back up that vertical line to
the top of the loop & pushed off as if leaving a lower-case v or w.

The other looked rather like the Cyrillic "p".  You drew the line
up one side, made a short horizontal line, then down the other side,
pushing off as if leaving lower-case h.  Darned "pe" was visible on
this page but wouldn't transfer to the edit page!

Whew!  Don't know if that computes well.
