Cherokee Syllabary - Numerals

Numerals

Cherokee uses Arabic numerals (0-9). The Cherokee council voted not to adopt Sequoyah's numbering system. Sequoyah created individual symbols for 1-20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 as well as a symbol for three zeros for numbers in the thousands and a symbol for six zeros for numbers in the millions. These last two symbols representing ,000 and ,000,000 are made up of two separate symbols each. Both of these have a symbol in common, this common symbol could be used as a zero in itself.
