@grok says this - Israeli elementary schools commonly use the Hebrew alternative plus sign ๏ฌฉ (U+FB29, resembling an inverted T) in math to avoid the standard + resembling a Christian cross, a practice rooted in 19th-century Jewish tradition and still seen in some textbooks.
- ISIS replaced the + symbol with the letter "z" in mathematics education within its territories around 2014-2017, explicitly to prevent imitation of the Christian cross and "infidels."
- The claim holds as these appear to be the only two documented cases, with no evidence of similar avoidance practices elsewhere in the world.
