The digits column can be used in check digit calculations.

Digits are assigned such that:

• The letters used as check codes are assigned their corresponding digit;
• The letters The (𐑞), Of (𐑝), And (𐑯), To (𐑑), and For (𐑓) have different digits;
• The letters F, H, G, U and A (Mer ID gene codes) have different digits;
• Talls are even and Deeps are odd;
• paired shorts and ligatures are also even and odd (important for transposition errors on compact Dominion keyboards that share these keys);
• paired odd-even code combinations are unique;
  • for example, Are and Or are a paired combination with digits 6 and 3, respectively – 6 and 3 are not used for any other pair.
• check digits are evenly spread
  • digits 5 and 7 are each used four times, all other digits are used five times each.

Some of the above rules are contradictory – they are listed in order of priority.
