In order to make the difference visible between the 6 and 9 star cancels,
some additional markings were added.
In general, a line underneath the number made it pretty clear, but some other marks exist too:

Variations of the 6:
For the 6, the marks are mainly dots
Variations of the 9:
For the 9, the marks are X's, +'s, snowflakes, triangles, dots, or just empty space.
For all star cancels, the markings are UNDER the number.
Only clear cancels will give a correct outcome.
to be continued...
