The number symbols are images of counting on the right hand. The corner represents the thumb, and on 4 you flip over to the back of the hand.
You can see that this order is correct by looking at the top of hub texts and see that they are increasing, and wall texts and see that they form all the numbers between 1 and 67
For example, 209 would look like:
úøā
209
Glyph | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|
ø | 0 | Imagine your right hand as a fist, palm pointing at you, thats zero. |
ù | 1 | Now add one finger, thats a 1 |
ú | 2 | another one makes 2 |
û | 3 | 3... |
ü | 4 | and 4, now you gonna continue to count on the same hand. |
ý | 5 | you flip your hand around, palm now facing away from you, still having all fingers up. thats your 5 |
þ | 6 | now to continue counting, simply start removing fingers, this is a 6 |
ÿ | 7 | and a 7 |
Ā | 8 | 8... |
ā | 9 | and finally 9. Now if you flip your hand again, you land at 0 ready to start counting over again. |
