Using + instead of & can be good.
Or if you read Irish or Hebrew you can use a 7, which if you squint looks like the character used instead of & in those languages. Irish does use the Roman-Latin alphabet, but not &. The & is actually et, Latin for and.

Traditionally in English, when spelling aloud, any letter that could also be used as a word in itself ("A", "I", and, "O") was prefixed with the Latin expression per se ('by itself'), as in "per se A". It was also common practice to add the & sign at the end of the alphabet as if it were the 27th letter, pronounced as the Latin et or later in English as and. As a result, the recitation of the alphabet would end in "X, Y, Z, and per se and". This last phrase was routinely slurred to "ampersand" and the term had entered common English usage by 1837

Quote:
In Irish and Scottish Gaelic, the character ⁊ is used in place of the ampersand. This character is a survival of Tironian notes, a medieval shorthand system. This character is known as the Tironian Et in English, the agus in Irish, and the agusan in Scottish Gaelic.

I think Hebrew uses the letter "Vav", which like the Irish symbol looks a little like a 7 in some fonts, as "and", even without the extra marks.
