Notes:
- Short, straight,
horizontal edge.
- Inner curved
edge.
- Curved top edge.
- Concavity.
- Flow area.
- Curved lower edge.
A 1 needs a narrow
width, horiztonal top. There is no support for this as symbol #16 has
a wide, curved top. A 1 needs long vertical edges. There is no support
for this in symbol #16. This excludes a 1.
A 5 needs a wide
horizontal top, a top left corner, and a short left-hand vertical edge
from the top. This is no support for any of these features. This excludes
a 5.
A 7 needs a wide
horizontal top, and a diagonal from the lower left to the upper right.
There is support for neither. This excludes a 7.
A 4 needs a left-hand
vertical edge, or a diagonal from the middle-left to the upper right,
and a vertical right edge. There is no support for any of these features.
This excludes a 4.
A 0 requires a curved
top and bottom, which symbol #16 has, but requires either convex or straight
left and right edges, neither of which are present in symbol #16. This
excludes a 0.
A 9 requires a closed
loop on the top and a diagonal line from the lower left to the upper right.
There is support for neither. This excludes a 9.
A 6 requires a short-edge
inthe top right, whereas symbol #16 has a conflicting short edge in the
top left. This excludes a 6.
An 8 requires a closed
loop on both the top and the bottom. Symbol #16 does not appear to have
a closed loop on top. This probably excludes an 8.
A 2 requires a short
edge to the top left which is present in symbol #16. A 2 also requires
top curvature which is present in symbol #16. A 2 also requires a diagonal
from the lower-left to the upper right. There is contradictory evidence,
but not necessarily exclusive, as the extent and location of lower flow
is unclear in symbol #16. A 2 also requires a wide flat bottom. There
is contradictory evidence, but not necessarily exclusive, as the extent
and location of lower flow is unclear in symbol #16. A 2 is a possible
candidate for symbol #16.
A 3 requires a short
edge to the top left which is present in symbol #16. A 3 also requires
a concavity on the right-hand edge which is present in symbol # 16. A
3 also requires lower curvature, which appears to be present in symbol
#16.
