what about numbers larger than 16?
Comment on Every base is base 10

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.

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.
