Why 4880 is special

It standardised the format of PGP encrypted mail and signatures so that independent implementations, notably GnuPG, could interoperate.

Read as powers of two: 4,096 + 512 + 256 + 16 = 4,880.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

4 lotuses, 8 coils of rope, 8 hobbles

4 × 1,000 + 8 × 100 + 8 × 10 = 4,880. 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.
