Independently invented several times, it would seem. Glyphs are symbols because they have meaning. Why borrow the symbol and discard the meaning?
And just what is the meaning of the "x' glyph in the VMs. Is it even astrological? More than 150 years before Kepler?
Which words is it found in, which pages, which hands? Are the first four examples [Post #14] all from a particular source?
The letter 'o' got used a lot in European literature between 1350 and 1600. Potential examples of the letter 'x' wouldn't be referenced to Asian sources if there was something more compatible with VMs investigations.
If the 15th C. timeline is accepted, this glyph 'x' currently has no peers. Otherwise, it is either an unintentional or an intentional anachronism.
