There is often something like a "foreign accent" in handwriting.

Many Europeans:

  • write numeral 1 with 'hat'
  • write numeral 9 like lowercase g (Arial-style)

Many Slavs:

  • write 'a' clockwise

Japanese:

  • never cross 7

(This is a stub. Please add!)

Crossed 7s are not as European as you might think. Once I saw a Chinese man writing crossed 7s. He said that he picked up the habit in the US!
