Meanwhile, have a look at the symbol &. Let's have that big:
&
Do you see how there's almost a capital E on the left?
Do you see how there's a cross on the right, almost like a simple t or +?
That's because & was originally a just a joined up way of writing et, the Latin for and.
Basically the same as ours.
Cool. It looks like teeline shorthand.
