The Square Symbols

The third image in this article doesn't have a caption explaining its origin, ie: who uses these symbols as tally marks? func(talk) 15:25, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)


LL-to-UR or UL-to-LR?

What is the proper (or even popular) method of doing the fifth tally mark in the US, "Upper-Left to Lower-Right" or "Lower-Left to Upper-Right"? An organization I work with uses these for counting every day, and we find it interesting that most people do "Lower-Left to Upper-Right," but one or two people do the other way. Anyone know the "proper" methodology of tallying? Zebov (talk|contribs) 14:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
