By now, I've been going through a bunch of number bases. 2, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20. Lately, base 6 has been on my mind. I'm referring to this as #senary since #heximal is too close to the more known hexadecimal. (This is not my invention, search the web.)
When writing a longer text, I couldn't help myself from doing some world building by picking other characters for the digits. (After all, I'm doing this for fun.) The ones I used were I, V, N, W, H and A, where I has 0 angles, V has 1 inner angle, and so on up to the 5 inner angles of the A.
However, this looks like an off-by-one error since V looks like 2 extended fingers, I looks like a 1 and H is the first letter in "hand". Maybe I should scrap the A, shift the others and pick another character for 0, this time counting the number of lines. (H has 5 lines separated by the intersections.)
What character is 0 lines? A dot, such as period "." or middle dot, but I was using those for other things. Use o as a symbol representing a fist (0 counted fingers), but that will make it wider than the I used for 1. Maybe I is a bad character and I should use \ instead?

This is a rabbit hole. I should just continue with what I was doing and leave this for another time.
