For an example of a constructed, and NOT AT ALL widely used, writing system that does include native support for hexadecimal numbers, see: http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/ewellic.html Tengwar, which is much more widely used and respected, has native support for base-12 numbers: http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/tengwar.html And of course there are "real" writing systems such as Tibetan and Ethiopic which do include numerals other than 0 through 9. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
