Writing tips:
Start with a small clockwise loop positioned near the middle left. Draw a straight vertical stroke downward to the bottom, then make a sharp turn to the right with a slight upward angle so you have enough vertical space to form a second clockwise loop at the lower right. From the top of this second loop, draw a vertical stroke upward to about the halfway point. Finish by creating a sweeping curve that rises to the top and arcs back toward the left.
