Here is how to write t+i, American style:
Notes:
Notice how in English we add a very, very small circle ("a dot") when we finish the "i" and the "j" (we "dot" our "i"s and "j"s after we finish writing a word). Be sure NOT to make a Chinese-style "dot" (looks like a short line)
J
"j" has a long tail, so it is three times as long as "i"
P
A European script "p" is different from an American "p". "p" is open.
T
A European script "t" is also different from an American "t". We put a small bar on the right of the "t".
Dot your i's and cross your t's
If we forget to cross our "t"s or put dots on each letter "i", the word is still readable, but this is not a good idea. Someone who "dots his i's and cross his t's" is a very careful person: this is an idiom in English.
