I mean, to be fair, there are quite a few letters in the Latin alphabet that can look pretty different depending on the font. The letter "J" can have a line across the top, or not; the letter "I" can have lines at the top and bottom, or no horizontal lines at all; lowercase "a" can have a hook at the top or no hook; lowercase "g" can have a closed circle at the bottom or just a hook that's open on the left side... and that's without even bringing cursive writing into it at all. :P Granted, the number of possible letters to guess from in the Latin alphabet is a lot more finite! But I guess I assume once you get used to seeing different fonts, the variations become so familiar that you don't really even notice them.

I have no idea if someone would be able to guess that 礻 was ⺬if they'd somehow only ever encountered one of the options before, though, except from context if it was obvious what the character had to be.

Totally, totally fair! I guess when it comes to the Latin script, even if someone's handwriting is very different from what I'm used to and they write letters in a way I'm not familiar with, I have a feeling for what kinds of variations to sort into which letter. And I feel like presumenothing's graph below helps me get started on that sort of mental sorting for Chinese, you know?
