| The "Alternative 0" represents both 0 and 25 simultaneously, and is used for cyclical representations where 0 and 25 would overlap. Examples from our culture (kind of): a 24-clock where either 00:00 and 24:00 could be used to represent midnight; or a compass where 0 and 360 degrees "overlap".

| The "Alternative 25" that looks like an asterisk in a box (D'ni numerals 6 and 25 in the same box) - is the D'ni symbol for the concept of "infinity" - something that cannot be numbered.
