Where 208 fits
Why 208 is special
A single turbine engine is unusual for an aircraft carrying passengers commercially, and it is what makes the Caravan economic on routes too thin for anything larger.

In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
2 coils of rope, 8 strokes
2 × 100 + 8 × 1 = 208. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
3 vertical wedges (sixties place), 2 corner wedges + 8 vertical wedges (units place)
3 × 60 + 28 = 208. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
sigma, then eta, marked as a numeral
sigma-eta + keraia
sigma + eta written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
resh, then het
resh-het
resh (200) + het (8) = 208, written in descending order.
Maya
2 bars (upper, twenties place) over 1 bar + 3 dots (lower, units place)
10 × 20 + 8 = 208. Places stack vertically with the smallest at the bottom, so the upper group is worth twenty times the lower.
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.
