It’s the same with flats being ♭ and not b. Mostly an engraving choice.

    Yes, probably just style then. Thinking about the context it has to be angled one way or another in sheet music just for clarity against the lines of the staff.

    It'd be interesting to know whether it was used first in sheet music, or otherwise.
