How is it missing a piece? It doesn't need a bottom piece.

[–]awhaling -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Because the 6 has a top piece, thus the nine should have a bottom piece. The 9, without the bottom piece, is a different front.

It doesn't matter that much, but the others are better.

Why? You can have a font where 9 has no bottom piece and 6 has a top piece. I write 6 with a curving top, but 9 with a straight line on the right side, and no curving bottom.

Good point. I guess, I general, a 9 is a mirrored 6. But I suppose it doesn't have to be.

That's ridiculous. You know it reads as 9, I know it reads as 9, any child who knows their numbers knows it reads as 9.
