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.
Well in school I learned 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,
Seven's my favorite number, because everyone says it's a lucky number.. but why do they say that! What's the history behind 7 Well, it's the natural number following 6 and preceding 8. 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? 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?
