Aw: The usage of Z WITH STROKE

Some anecdotal evidence:
 
I was taught by my math teacher (Germany, 1970s) to stroke all  z's (upper or lowercase) in order to
distinguish them from the digit "2"
 
--Jörg Knappen
 
P.S. What pan-turkic orthography is concerned, there were also a lot of pan-turkic Latin alphabets in revolutionary
Soviet Union (1920s) before Cyrillic alphabets were introduced in the Stalin era.
 
P.P.S. You are certainly aware of this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_with_stroke

Betreff: The usage of Z WITH STROKE

Hi!

There are two comments to the character(s) in the U0180 chart:

1. Pan-Turkic Latin orthography
2. handwritten variant of Latin “z”

Ad 1.

Do I understand correctly that the Pan-Turkic Latin ortography
refers to the initiative described in the post to the Linguist list:

https://linguistlist.org/issues/4/4-187.html

If so, where to find more information about it? I found already another
post to the Linguist list

https://linguistlist.org/issues/5/5-739.html

but it contains only very general information.

Ad 2.

I'm curious how widespread, in time and space, is/was this
convention. Can you suggest to me where to search for this information?

Best regards

Janusz
