Over my time learning japanese I've noticed something odd. My laptop uses り for ri but my ipod uses something different. The ipod version was one I also saw in a subtitle joke in the tv show "Rob!" I can't show it but it's basically a vertical line with a clockwise curve on the right side. Is it a newer or older form of righting "ri" or is it just alternate? Is it used in certain words like how kanji works? Thank you.
