If you meant, what would be the numeric value of their unicode code points, then I'd say the basic horizontal-barred numerals should be 00015400 - 00015413. That puts the Mayan zero, a source of pride for modern Mayans, as the very first Mayan character in unicode. Earlier I spoke of approaching the ALMG to sponsor this. I could also talk to Chol Samaj, a mayan-oriented publishing house which uses these glyphs (as well as the calenderical ones - day-signs, month-signs, and long count periods) regularly. But I'm a newbie here on this list. I brought this issue up here, and there weren't many non-joke responses. Does that mean I should give up? Or if not, what should I do next? Jameson
