In my font (Everson Mono Terminal), the vin looks like a descended 3
with the top and bottom curls coming back in a bit more than usual
toward the center. The k'an is mostly the same, but the top curve
stops abruptly near the horizontal midpoint of the glyph, not even
extending as far left as the middle line. And the p'ar is like a
k'an raised up onto the baseline, but instead of stopping the top
curve swoops upward, as if the top of the vin were reflected across
a horizontal line.
The distinctions are subtle, to be sure, but no worse than the
difference between, say, lowercase Roman 't' and 'f' in many fonts.
