Writing The Ampersand
In everyday handwriting, the ampersand is sometimes simplified as an ε superimposed by a vertical line.
Alternatively, it is sometimes written as a t or a + sign with an added loop, resembling the phonetic symbol for a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative . This type of ampersand may actually be a rendering of the + sign or of the Tironian "et".
