Data.Char.Number.Egyptian

One can make use of a block of Unicode characters to typeset ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. This module aims to make it more convenient to work with ancient Egyptian numerals.

Ancient Egyptian numerals use a sign-value system with radix 10. This means that there are hieroglyphs for 1 to 9, for 10, 20, ..., 90, for 100, 200, ..., 900, etc. With the heh as largest value denoting one million.

In Egyptian numerals, one could write numbers left-to-right and right-to-left (or even vertical). The human or animal figures always point to the beginning of the line. Because in the Unicode standard the heh (denoting one million) looks to the left, the values are written left-to-right.
