It would be a violation of my traditional cultural standards to use T
instead of 2 for "to".  Furthermore, using 2 prevents me from writing
TBB and other such horrors.

It irritates nonetheless.

Except that it seems that on occasion parts, at least, of said ancient monuments are indeed carved T2B.

When the long inscription is too long it goes over the top and down the other side, but think of it as a plane in curved space.

at the B, you might get your answer.

An answer, to be sure, but *the* answer?
