      It would be the digit representing a value of 16 (i.e. the amount of lines here: |||| |||| |||| ||||), if you’re talking about it from the perspective of a number system with base 17 or higher.

    There are still 20 more letters that can be used as stand-ins. Things will get interesting if you try to go past Base 36, though.

    We’ve got base 64, though it doesn’t quite follow the convention of starting with digits and following up with letters:
