Please, can you tell me what should be the glyph for HEXADECIMAL DIGIT FIFTEEN
in a Greek context? digamma? stigma? even if both do not currently appear
in Greek fonts... Or using the plain old Greek numeral scheme, which will
be to use iota-epsilon?
I am sure similar problems can occur with collating orders of Cyrillic,
depending of the language).
And in Arabic (and perhaps Hebrew) context, should these >9 digits be ordered
from left to right, or from right to left?
Can of worms, can of worms...
