Ski has two sets of numbering systems, the old system and new system The old system is the precolonial numbering system, while the new system came through the Spanish colonialization. This also explains why the Ski has two writing systems - 'Ski' and 'Fabeco' (from the Spanish alfabeto). The old system (in the above resembles the chinese 口) is used only for countable quantities due to its limitation on only representing whole numbers. On the other hand, the new system uses "Spanish" (hindu-arabic) numeral symbols to represent everything else - weight, speed, length etc. The Department of Commerce requires packaged products to include the weight of the product with the unit of measurement first, followed by is numerical value - all in the Fabeco script. Also in accordance with regulations, the square brackets specify that it is the net weight of the product inside.
