Which form of the Cyrillic lowercase ghe with a stroke (uni0493) is preferable in the italics?

Here is a note just in case there is no clear suggestion about this letter. 

While writing the article about Serbian Cyrillic, I found out some areas that were not precisely established, either in theory or in practice. I guess that there are even more such areas in Cyrillic languages with a smaller number of speakers.

My approach there was to follow a general type design logic (what is optically better). At least until a clear, relevant suggestion appears.

In other words, that is an opportunity to establish a solution with better design, in practice. In this case, I would prefer a solution with an angled slash, because it uses a white space better, and avoids a clogged crossing and broken diagonal (famous "X optical issue").

On the other side, that also depends on the /ghe shape. In your example, too angled a slash would touch the /ghe terminals. But anyway, whatever optically works best.

I agree with Igor that some aspects of Cyrillic typography are not firmly established.

And this is not surprising. The natural development of the Cyrillic was brutally halted in the 17th century.

@John Savard you are correct — 18th Century. I started writing a year but changed my mind to writing a century ...from the phone, on a party, and Voilà...
