    Those two (same!) pages that you have written seem to say that U+0548 U+0552
    (as well as U+0578 U+0582) *unambiguously* mean 7600.

    That, as well as the 7005 example on your page(s) brings up the question of
    letter order: big endian, little endian, or arbitrary, or just these two
    little-endian exceptions to bigendian (or similar).
