Read as powers of two: 2,048 + 1,024 + 512 + 256 + 128 + 16 + 2 = 3,986.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

3 lotuses, 9 coils of rope, 8 hobbles, 6 strokes

3 × 1,000 + 9 × 100 + 8 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 3,986. 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.
