    Not very often - i’d bet under 5% of even handwritten instances in Japan, and feels like it would be an elderly person who wrote it (hardly narrows it down in jp tbf).

    It is a common method in Taiwan though.

      Nah, very common, and not just handwritten either. If you image search for 値札 (price tag) you get tons of results with the 円 version like below. I see it all the time in stores.
