they showed some tendencies to making the character more rectilinear. The eastern Arabs developed<br />

the character from a 6-look-alike into an uppercase V-look-alike. Both modern Arab forms influenced<br />

the European form, a two-stroke character consisting of a horizontal upper line joined at its right to a<br />

line going down to the bottom left corner, a line that is slightly curved in some font variants. As is the<br />

case with the European glyph, the Cham and Khmer glyph for 7 also evolved to look like their glyph<br />

for 1, though in a different way, so they were also concerned with making their 7<br />

more different. For the Khmer this often involved adding a horizontal line above the<br />

glyph. [2] This is analogous to the horizontal stroke through the middle that is<br />

sometimes used in handwriting in the Western world but which is almost never used<br />

in computer fonts. This horizontal stroke is, however, important to distinguish the<br />

glyph for seven from the glyph for one in writings that use a long upstroke in the glyph<br />

for one. On the seven-segment displays of pocket calculators and digital watches, 7 is<br />

the number with the most common glyph variation (0, 6 and 9 also have variant<br />

glyphs). Most calculators use three line segments, but on Sharp, Casio, and a few other brands of<br />

calculators, 7 is written with four line segments because, in Japan and Korea, 7 is written as ① in the<br />

illustration to the right.While the shape of the 7 character has an ascender in most<br />

modern typefaces, in typefaces with text figures the character usually has a descender,<br />

as, for example, in . Some people, especially in Europe, Latin America, and New<br />

England, write 7 with a line in the middle ("7"), sometimes with the top line crooked. The<br />

line through the middle is useful to clearly differentiate the character from the number one,<br />

as these can appear similar when written in certain styles of handwriting. This glyph used<br />

in official handwriting rules for primary school in Russia. [3]<br />

• There are 7 SI base units. [4] These are a coherent set of units defined to measure 7 basic physical<br />

properties: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela.<br />

The 7 SI base units are used to define all other SI units, which are<br />

known as SI derived units. [5]<br />
