One example would be the half circle starting on right side and then rotating to the left side, and the other hand circle would be starting closest to you and then rotating till it is farthest from you.

So a writer may choose to use the symbol that they are either more familiar with or just think looks more simple for writing and/or reading. The familiarity issue is also compounded by the fact that both symbols were not created at the same time, so the half circles from the left to right are older than the half circles farthest closest to farthest.
