Why 25,519 is special

The name is the exponent and the subtrahend run together. The curve was designed so that every possible input is a valid key and no parameter is unexplained — a response to earlier standard curves whose constants nobody could account for. It is now the default for SSH keys and for Signal's key exchange.

2 × 10,000 + 5 × 1,000 + 5 × 100 + 1 × 10 + 9 × 1 = 25,519. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

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.
