Where 62,256 fits
Why 62,256 is special
It was the standard memory expansion for 8-bit industrial and hobby boards, and battery-backed versions became a de facto non-volatile store.

6 × 10,000 + 2 × 1,000 + 2 × 100 + 5 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 62,256. 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.
