So it is. It would need to be twelve to encode picograms. The principle of encoding the position of the decimal point seems efficient. >The unfinished draft is at http://phma.hn.org/Metric/unit-codes.html . I looked at your code. I notice that you have copied their sequence (m, kg, s, A, K). That seems reasonable to me. How would 26 picograms be encoded, or 230 volts? Can you give some other examples?
