First comments on top threads
HN comment orderThe Wikipedia page didn't seem to mention other similar systems created historically to impede modification/miscomprehension. China has a separate set of accounting number glyphs specifically for this purpose, as the regular numbers 1-9, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 (一二三四五六七八九十百千萬) are obviously easy to change, for example 一 to 十 or 千, 二 to 三, 八 to 九, etc. The replacements are 壹貳參肆伍陸柒捌玖拾佰仟萬. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_numbers#Standard_numbe... for background.
A similar concept is found in Chinese writing. Numbers are written using relatively few strokes, making it easy to change a "one" into a "two." 1: 一 2: 二 3: 三 4: 四 5: 五 6: 六 7: 七 8: 八 9: 九 10: 十 For financial documents, a more complicated form of symbols is used: 1: 壹 2: 貳 3: 參 4: 肆 5: 伍 6: 陸 7: 柒 8: 捌 9: 玖 10: 拾
