A binary clock might use LEDs to express binary values. In this clock, each column of LEDs shows a binary-coded decimal numeral of the traditional sexagesimal time..

An alphabetic numeral system employs the letters of a script in the specific order of the alphabet in order to express numerals. In Greek, letters are assigned to respective numbers in the following sets: 1 through 9, 10 through 90, 100 through 900, and so on. Decimal places are represented by a single symbol.
When used as numbers, the letters are used in combination with the upper keraia numeral sign ʹ to denote numbers from 1 to 900 and in combination with the lower keraia ͵ to denote multiples of 1000. (For a full table of the signs and their values, see Greek numerals.)
