I have tried ChatGPT quite a lot. CoPilot has failed to rock up on my KDE desktop - but I live in hope. I really tried and I was both impressed and horrified in equal measure. I advise people to use them but treat them like a calculator t

p is a vertical downstroke followed by a vertical upstroke and then the loop. rho is a curved upstroke and the loop all in one go. Z - try putting hooks on the head and tail of the letter - I'd stick with crossing your zeds/zees.
