    Are semaphores modelled after real letters ?

    Doesn't really understand the form for the 4th character though

    Yes, basically. But there're some exceptions.

    In case of "ス" (su), to distinguish similar letters "ヌ" (nu) and "マ" (ma), they modelled its semaphore after the kanji "寸" (sun).
