It’s an homophonic alliteration in binary.

Yep I couldn't understand why they chose to use Roman notation. To be honest though 11 is a weird age cut off to have picked.

I think in order to see a major unified system font update, we are going to need two huge corporations battle each other in court.

Guilty. I used the sum symbol for a fancy "E" riffling through my phone keyboards. I know there is a better ascii character.

edited later: corrected my intended font\unicode.

edit2: I highly recommend a f-droid app called UnicodePad for anyone in need of a proper character map application.

They probably decided on 10 or below, but it didn't sound as catchy in the marketing

I don't really handwrite anything these days, but my brother always taught me to put a little upturned curve at the bottom of letters to differentiate them from similar-looking numbers.

I think it’s

Which is in Roman numerals

VIII   XI

But also works in arabic numerals

Binary for three. Two would be 1 0 which would then get confused with 10 which would actually take us full circle.

That's why the changed it from 10 to 11 during testing, because people kept thinking it meant 2
