In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
2 lotuses, 9 coils of rope, 8 hobbles, 6 strokes
2 × 1,000 + 9 × 100 + 8 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 2,986. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
4 corner wedges + 9 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)
49 × 60 + 46 = 2986. 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.

RFC 2986 specifies the PKCS #10 certification request syntax, carrying a public key, subject name and a self-signature proving key possession. Verification of the claimed identity is the authority's job.
