Well many interpretate a numeral digit as a single unique symbol representing a number written out in one pensttroke. I just pointed out that using handwriting or underscore a compination can be considered a numerical digit in itself. There is no need for inventing a new set of characters representing 32-bit numbers. You will not be able to learn them by heart anyway, unless they build on a interpretation system binaries, decimals. Of course you could rather easily create a new set building on Points and lines and their interpretation. Well just saying the Babylonians and Sumerians already did this, even the old greek had some sort of system with 120 unique digits. But what would be the need for such system when we so easy can create a unique permutation representing any number, using our 10 digits. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
