When written properly, the Tibetan letter has "curved legs" intentionally turning outward. The quincunx legs are straight.
Also, there is the question of how the meaning of the symbol would have migrated from being a letter to a fraction used by Kepler? The terminology is Latin, but where does the "picnic table" glyph come from?
The real question is then, what is it doing in the VMs as a rare letter and as glyph #6 in the 4 x 17 symbol sequence?
Typed Korean consonant j looks interesting as well:
