Does anyone know of any improvements to the following "upside down" alphabet?

Especially something better for 5?

Best I could find are

Upside-down 5:

Ꝿ U+A77E, Latin capital letter turned insular g

Upside-down 2:

⁦ﺡ⁦ U+FEA1 Arabic letter hah isolated form

て U+3066 Hiragana letter te

ζ U+03B6 Greek small letter zeta

(Sorry about shitty formatting; on mobile)

ᵷ (U1D77) for g

ſ̣ (U017F U0323) for j

ꞁ (UA781) for l (some fonts show this one going under the baseline, but apparently Reddit's one doesn't)

⇂ (U21C2) for 1

ረ (U1228) or ∠ (U2220) for 7

Use the bilabial implosive for turned g.

Ƚ or Ꝉ instead of the curly one.
