Thank you. For your curiosity, one of its benefits is harder to be modified, as someone can add single bar to change informal glyph "1" to "2", or add a vertical bar to change "1" to "10". That's why it's used for checks, but it's also used for contents that should not be modified like contracts or "will by notarized document", like this: http://kouseisyousyo.e-bunrei.com/010kouseisyousyoyuigonnobunrei/ Regards, Koji
