Skip the back story. What language are these numbers?
Well I cannot send pictures here's all I know. 6 is (| ' ) 9 is (P) and 2 is... well I cant type anything too similar ... (t) but without the bit on the left or the bottom bit.

All numbers have (|) so you know what column it is in e.g 69 is ' P (Sorry it's the only numbers I remember) 6000 is ,| 600 is |, and 60 is '|

Please help if you can I lost the google image :(

Remember

Top Right - units
Left - Tens
Bottom right - hundereds
Left - thousands
