I write the times as two crossing lines, and an X as two vertical arcs that touch in the middle. Now they are easy to distinguish. It isn't until I went looking for an image of it that I figured out how weird this is. I also draw a y with one stroke so that it has a visible curve. That keeps a bad y and bad times from looking like each other.
