I would do a Z like a 2 as people will still be able to read it.

pairs of vertical plates, with both, top, bottom, both in the letter colour for

A small x might be two columns of 5 horizontal plates with the middle and bottom
ones in letter colour, with vertical plates in between, the bottom one in letter
colour.  That would make it like two small cs back to back.

(...) You may use it if you want. I can send you the BMP file if you want (much easier to edit). Mail me in interested! Still, I am looking for solutions for the 4 missing letters.
