This is a modified artistic number representation system that I created some time ago.

This symbol represents the number 1,111,111 in base 8 which is 299,593 in base 10.

The horizontal line that connects to the diagonal that connects to the bottom right corner represents one. The ones increase clockwise. So seven is represented by the same horizontal line connected to a diagonal that connects to the top right corner.

The vertical line running from top to bottom represents 1 of the unit: 10^1 (8^1). 2 of the unit: 10^1 (8^1) is one position to the left. The square is divided by 8 widthwise. So there's s 7 equally spaced vertical lines. Starting from the right they increase to the left.

The horizontal line running from right to left represents 1 of the unit: 10^2 (8^2). 2 of the unit: 10^2 (8^2) is one position to the bottom. The square is divided by 8 heightwise. So there's 7 equally spaced horizontal lines. Starting from the top they increase to the bottom.

The diagonal line running from right top to top represents 1 of the unit: 10^3 (8^3). 2 of the unit: 10^3 (8^3) is one position to the left bottom. The diagonals connect to the widthwise and heightwise division points. So there's 7 equally spaced right-top-to-top diagonal lines. Starting from the right top they increase to the left bottom.

The diagonal line running from right bottom to bottom represents 1 of the unit: 10^4 (8^4). 2 of the unit: 10^4 (8^4) is one position to the left top. The diagonals connect to the widthwise and heightwise division points. So there's 7 equally spaced right-bottom-to-bottom diagonal lines. Starting from the right bottom they increase to the left top.

The diagonal line running from left bottom to bottom represents 1 of the unit: 10^5 (8^5). 2 of the unit: 10^5 (8^5) is one position to the right top. The diagonals connect to the widthwise and heightwise division points. So there's 7 equally spaced left-bottom-to-bottom diagonal lines. Starting from the left bottom they increase to the right top.

The diagonal line running from left top to top represents 1 of the unit: 10^6 (8^6). 2 of the unit: 10^6 (8^6) is one position to the right bottom. The diagonals connect to the widthwise and heightwise division points. So there's 7 equally spaced left-top-to-top diagonal lines. Starting from the left top they increase to the right bottom.
