Behold, number | | | - burger king foot lettuce

i think the different mark on the 5s is more akin to thousands commas, like if we did 1,0000,0000. so base 1 with different digit grouping standards i guess?

Wouldn’t it be base 6?

1. (Zero)
2. |
3. ||
4. |||
5. ||||
6. -||||-

They are base-5, and the standard numerals are replaced with pictographs.
