THey mention that they have these symbols entered into a data base. After weeks of entering recall names into a DB for Verifythe Recall (WI) I can tell you that the prehistoric symbols are easier to read than leftist signatures.

The extended middle digit seems to be a universal symbolic language which is primitive but still understood worldwide.
