In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
2 coils of rope, 3 hobbles, 6 strokes
2 × 100 + 3 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 236. 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), 5 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)
3 × 60 + 56 = 236. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
sigma, then lambda, then stigma, marked as a numeral
sigma-lambda-stigma + keraia
sigma + lambda + stigma 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 lamed, then vav
resh-lamed-vav
resh (200) + lamed (30) + vav (6) = 236, written in descending order.
Maya
2 bars + 1 dot (upper, twenties place) over 3 bars + 1 dot (lower, units place)
11 × 20 + 16 = 236. 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.
