Variant g
Variant g applies to Type 6 cancels and indicates that there is a numeral within a circular region in the killer grid.

There is no special variant code for a Type 6 grid with the numeral inside a circle inside the circular region. By the way, it is the cancel that is blurry - not the scan.
