Of course... but is there more about it? Why has it been seen as somewhat of a special number throughout history? Anything interesting about it?
knowledge: In the beginning, various Hindus wrote 7 more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase J vertically inverted.
response: I really don't know. What I can say, however, is that the Hindus wrote 7 more like an upside-down J.

Alright, interesting. Some history there. What else is a fun fact about it?
knowledge: Both modern Arab forms influenced the European form, a two-stroke character consisting of a horizontal upper line joined at its right to a line going down to the bottom left corner, a line that is slightly curved in some font variants.
response: The European form of 7 was influenced by Arab forms, which is a horizontal line at the top joined by a vertical line on the right going down to the left.

Oh, that's pretty cool. What's another fact the common person might not know?
knowledge: As is the case with the European glyph, the Cham and Khmer glyph for 7 also evolved to look like their glyph for 1, though in a different way, so they were also concerned with making their 7 more different.
response: I'm not sure if the common person would know this or not, but the Cham and Khmer version of 7 also looks similar to their form for 1, though not in the same way 7 and 1 look in European text.
