In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
8 coils of rope, 9 hobbles, 4 strokes
8 × 100 + 9 × 10 + 4 × 1 = 894. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 4 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 corner wedges + 4 vertical wedges (units place)
14 × 60 + 54 = 894. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
omega, then koppa, then delta, marked as a numeral
omega-koppa-delta + keraia
omega + koppa + delta 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 tsadi, then dalet
tav-tav-tsadi-dalet
tav (400) + tav (400) + tsadi (90) + dalet (4) = 894, 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.

894 is Zambia's ISO numeric code. The highest codes belong to countries late in the English alphabet, which is the clearest evidence that the ordering is nominal rather than meaningful.
