1 × 1,000 + 6 × 10 + 3 × 1 = 1,063. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

1 corner wedge + 7 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges + 3 vertical wedges (units place)

17 × 60 + 43 = 1063. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
