As I understand since this is phonetically transliterated to a different language (Old Persian) and then converted to cuneiform, it would not be possible to convert e.g. backup security codes with this. It seems from a brief read that it'd a lot more similar to Japanese's Kanji, so unless you just did one of those fake "alphabets" that can be easily googled, you'd be out of luck from a real translation and back.


We can write numbers up to 256 in old persian: https://www.quora.com/How-were-large-numbers-e-g-3000-writte...

So write it ASCII or UTF8 :)
