·    K7750 has one of the instances of pitzil with an explicitly written -l, which is otherwise often underspelled. I haven’t managed to find a drawing (let alone a drawing with glyph-block labels) for K7750. The glyph-block labelling I’ve used is from MHD and pitzil appears as the glyph-block #3 of side 3.
