presented here are the values 0 to 36 expressed in the base-6 numbering system
base-6 (senary, aka heximal) represents numbers in many ways superior to base-10 (decimal), and even base-12 (dozenal), so much so that it is almost guaranteed to revolutionize how one views relationships between numbers, as well as the very mechanics of math in general
meet the glyphs! here are the digits for 0–5; as you may have noticed, I've designed some of them differently to give it more symbolic emphasis (after all, there are only 6 distinct digits, so there's plenty of room to work with) but it's still valid to continue with the same western Arabic numerals
0 — zero as is; can represent a place-value gap
1 — just one; the unit, self-explanatory
2 — drawn as either "V" or "Y"; think of twigs, or forks in the road; can also represent a third of a set; a pie radially cut into 3 wedges would have a "Y"-shaped cut
3 — drawn as "Э", "3", or as a circle opened to the left with a dot inside; the design choice is based on a stylized moon, as it can also represent half of a set
4 — drawn as an "L" with an upwards stroke on the lower-right end; based on a stylized sheet of paper (having 4 sides) with a folded corner
5 — drawn as though one would try to draw an "8" like one would an "S", and sometimes with one more stroke crossing the middle (absent in smaller font sizes); as the main stroke goes back and forth and back, this glyph generally represents a lot of something, as though piling almost uncontrollably in one's hands
there you go, your first steps into the world of base-6; don't worry if none of this sinks in right away, it's about to get all mathematical Fantasia up in here
