Are there two different ways to write “ri”?

I see a ”ri” that is just very difficult to tell the difference between “I” In a YouTube playlist that has helped me out a lot. But in hiragana charts I see on google images show ri as a one stroke kana that looks more like and English c backwards?

  1. It’s the difference in fonts

    い is ‘i’ and り is ‘ri’ but it might look closer to the katakana version in handwritten text リ

    Is that what you mean?

  2. It’s different fonts, and handwriting will differ slightly from person to person.

    Similar to that ‘a’ will look different in typing and handwriting.

    Usually りis written without connecting the right and left part, looking like a rounded リ
