In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
3 lotuses, 2 coils of rope
3 × 1,000 + 2 × 100 = 3,200. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
5 corner wedges + 3 vertical wedges (sixties place), 2 corner wedges (units place)
53 × 60 + 20 = 3200. 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.
