Here is how I would personally modify lowercase g:

   xxx
  x   x
  xxxxx
      x
  xxxx

It looks a bit like a 9 but the descender is different.

(Could play around with how many x's to put on the first and third lines, particularly whether to set the first/last bits on those lines as "corners" or make it more rounded.)

I would also modify the top of lowercase e in a similar fashion.
