I usually use the cases environment in the amsmath package - it is very good:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[\begin{cases}
x+y=2 \\
2x+3y=4
\end{cases}\]
\end{document}

Question 1
However, in my country, the symbol doesn't really look like this. It is like this one instead - a slight change in the bracket:
Is it possible to redefine the cases environment so that it is like this:
Pic 2
Pic 3
Now honestly I have no idea of how to do this.
Question 2
Beside the { we also have the [. Now, I am using the [ like in cases environment using gathered, also in the amsmath package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\left[\begin{gathered}
x=3\hfill\\
x=4\hfill
\end{gathered}\right.
\]
\end{document}
Pic 4
However, like Question 1 above, I want to get this kind of square bracket:
Pic 5
How to do so? I'm sorry I don't have the slightest idea :(
Question 2.1
Furthermore, in my country, people prefer this
Pic 6
Similarly to the above questions, I found many difficulties and failed.
Any help in any question will be highly appreciated!
Important Note
Pictures 2, 3, 5 and 6 are made with Windows Paint. As the spacing between lines in Euclid font is large, the spacing between two lines in the pictures are larger than I want. However the spacing I want is just normal, not that large. The default spacing in normal cases is perfect in this case.
