This is so neat. Thanks for putting it together. A strange number system, but interesting. It would be great if it could be done in Unicode. I'm intrigued to know what it was used for.

Until relatively recently the western world didn't really agree on a numeral system.

(As an aside, the western Arabic numerals we use today are quite different to the eastern Arabic numerals used in Arabic writing)
