I write my 7’s and Z’s with a horizontal line through them. Ƶ is encoded not for this purpose, but because Z and Ƶ are distinct in orthographies for varieties of Tatar, Chechen, Karelian, and Mongolian. This is a contemporary writing convention but it does not argue for a new SEVEN WITH STROKE character or that I should use Ƶ rather than Z when I write *Ƶanƶibar.
