==Canonical unary codes==

For unary values where the maximum is known, one can use canonical unary codes that are of a somewhat numerical nature and different from character based codes. It involves starting with numerical '0' or '-1' ( <math>\operatorname2^{n+1} - 1\,</math>) and the maximum number of digits then for each step reducing the number of digits by one and increasing/decreasing the result by numerical '1'.
