Tired Of Writing Unconscious In 2 Strokes?

During a recent practice session where the word, “unconscious,” came up a multitude of times, I decided that I was tired of writing “unconscious” in two strokes. As a matter of fact, “tired” was an understatement it was more like, on the brink of exhaustion. Lol.

Therefore, I came up with a one-stroke brief for unconscious, KOUNS. It is similar to the brief I use for conscious, KONS. I just added a “U” to that brief.
