in the realm of wydheth, the østendūna imperium reigns over the heart of a vast and mountainous continent. while the imperium is home to many tongues, they all share a common script and, by extension, numeral system.
this system is, in some ways, similar to our world's roman numerals. particularly in the repetition of characters to represent multiples of their values, e.g. "ii" for two; as well as using the apostrophus method for large numbers, e.g. "cıɔ" for a thousand. they diverge in that østendūna traditionally uses base-6 counting rather than base-10, thus there is little need for subtractive notation, e.g. "iv" for four.
the symbols for numbers are mostly taken from the østendun alphabet, though 36 and 108 are modified to reflect their values:
| 1 | ı | 3888 | ıɔɔ |
| 3 | u | 5184 | ııɔɔ |
| 6 | κ | 6480 | uɔɔ |
| 18 | n | 7776 | ccıɔɔ |
| 36 | ж | 15552 | ccııɔɔ |
| 108 | ɔ | 23328 | ıɔɔ |
| 216 | c | 31104 | ııɔɔ |
| 648 | ıɔ | 38880 | uɔɔɔ |
| 1296 | cıɔ | 46656 | cccıɔɔɔ |
| 2592 | cııɔ | 93312 | cccııɔɔɔ |
for convenience, i have created a converter here that will allow you to input positional notation numerals to acquire the østendunska numerals:

the implementation of this converter was based on an answer by jaggedsoft on stackoverflow regarding conversion to roman numerals in javascript.
