Older electrical schematics showed connecting wires crossing, while
non-connecting wires "jumped" over each other with little half-circle
marks. Newer electrical schematics show connecting wires joining with a
dot, while non-connecting wires cross with no dot. However, some people
still use the older convention of connecting wires crossing with no dot,
which may create confusion.
For this reason, I opt to use a hybrid convention, with connecting wires unambiguously connected by a dot, and non-connecting wires unambiguously "jumping" over one another with a half-circle mark. While this may be frowned upon by some, it leaves no room for interpretational error: in each case, the intent is clear and unmistakable:
