About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Then you would need an unique symbol for every possible number

But are there many scenarios where you don't already need that anyways, just for writing out the digits of a number in the given base?

I mean, I can imagine a scenario where you might talk about base 420 on a theoretical level, without explicitly counting up until 418, 419, 420 (as e.g. Ϡ, Ϣ, 10). But honestly, you could even still refer to that as "Base 419" and it would still be fairly obvious what you mean, since you are using multiple digits rather than just one. I guess, you could also write it as "Base 419~9~" (so with a subscript 9 to represent what we normally call "Base 10"), if you want to be precise about it.
