Note also that handwritten letters and signs often have uppercase "F"
written in reverse (but never its lowercase match "f"), which can cause
problems for OCR processing, yet does not seem to be covered by any
standard for handling such variation of presentation in the real world.

Note also that those real-world handwritten Lira symbols would also
look extremely similar to the handwritten symbols for the Euro, with
the same basic features : a single long curve open on the right side,
and two strokes. I know many that already write euros like a mirrored
J, just to leave enough space for the strokes. The curve of the C does
not leave enough place in the right side to avoid that the two strokes
touch it.
I may give photos of that (for example in handwritten promotional
price lists facing restaurants and bars, or price indicators in fresh
food markets) : you recognize the euro, but you hardly find the shape
of a C as it is clearly truncated of its upper arm.
