N’Ko Numerals
N’Ko uses the same numeric system as English, and the system of operation is the same. The only difference is the name and symbols of the characters. As an example 2=1 + 1 (1+1=2), and similarly the operation 054=05-005 is the same as 500 – 50 = 450. The table below shows the characters, their names and pronunciations:
