JKP: For me this is an important question as it has implications in terms of the script used, some scripts may be more likely to have the kind of angular "4" shape in their script and other might not. It also would mean that anyone who finds a "qp" style looking character has found a different character and not a direct parallel with the Voynich gallows symbol, I have seen images of suggested parallel symbols.
I have mentioned this topic before, but ultimately it is a visual problem which I think can be answered scientifically; essentially do we have a triangle or a circle or put differently do we have an angle or a curve. I would argue that the left hand loop is an angle and the right hand loop a curve.
