Where 826 fits
Why 826 is special
The UK's ISO letter code is GB rather than UK, a mismatch that causes recurring problems in software. The numeric code avoids the question entirely.

In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
8 coils of rope, 2 hobbles, 6 strokes
8 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 826. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 3 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)
13 × 60 + 46 = 826. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
omega, then kappa, then stigma, marked as a numeral
omega-kappa-stigma + keraia
omega + kappa + stigma written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
tav, then tav, then kaf, then vav
tav-tav-kaf-vav
tav (400) + tav (400) + kaf (20) + vav (6) = 826, written in descending order.
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.
