The Weld-Blundell Prism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weld-Blundell_Prism doesn't use positional notation, so 5.50.0 is expressed as ๐’ง๐’ข (five 3600, five 600) and 5.10.0 is expressed as ๐’ง๐’ž (five 3600, one 600). (Lines 27-35, each number appearing twice separated by a line with ๐’น๐’ˆ— (one king), if you want to follow along.)

This is besides the point, but you do have to marvel at the technology it took to make this comment render just fine in HN.
