 The top portion is the letter "f" and "p" with tails. The only place I found it is in old calligraphy, but been told it is official British writing. |

Hello,
I �m not sure if this is the answer you �re looking for but the top style of writing is cursive (or script) and the lower style is print (or manuscript). I don �t know which style of writing is taught in British schools. |

In cursive writing, P doesn �t have a tail. F can have a tail. |

Yes, that �s what I thought too. Then I googled �cursive � and clicked �images � and saw some examples of /p/ with a tail or with a loop. |

I have seen P with a fancy flourish in calligraphy, but it �s a gentle bending rather than a pronounced �tail �. I don �t think it is taught in schools at all. |

I have been looking for mistakes being taught in the Chinese schools I work at. This came up and the teacher swore it was the British manuscript writing. I had looked online and emailed the UK school board but haven �t gotten a reply yet. |
