This is from Jacob Poon's report of 2007-10,

I disagree.

I think the glyphs are quite recognizible as they are, and I rather like the lighter approach of double-striking a single vertical.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Double-struck capital letters (U+210D, U+2115, U+2119-211A) only have the double-struck effect on some vertical strokes, making the glyphs harder to differentiate. To improve legibility, the vertical strokes should be replaced by heavy hollowed strokes instead of adding vertical bar to base glyph.
