I think you are missing the point. I don't write in old English because I'm not from that time frame. Likewise Ezekial wouldn't have written in what to Him was an ancient script.
According to your own chart the letter for Tav by Ezekial's time was an X, not a t, so Ezekial most probably wrote it with an X given that, 'According to dates given in the text, Ezekiel received his prophetic call in the fifth year of the first deportation to Babylonia (592 BC) and was active until about 570 BC' 1

God certainly made the original image of the letter on the foreheads of the people who were saved from judgment. It would make little sense if he had used a modified version. But a cross was also made on the forehead of Cain so that he was saved too.Even if that were true, how does that matter?
Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, sevenfold shall it be avenged. And the LORD made a mark(oth=God nailed on the cross) on Cain, that whosoever found him should not slay him.
In early hebrew the letter Beyt/Bet is the image of a house, and has the meaning house, so the answer is it talks about both, for it's the same.The second letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called beyt, which means "house". Do you think 2 Sam. 2:4 is talking about the letter beyt of Judah, or the house of Judah.
