Text cleanup
Accents and Latin compatibility folds apply first, then I/J and U/V are merged for counting.
Variant behavior
J is counted as I, U is counted as V, and W is left outside the classical table.
What is not counted
Digits, W after classical folding, decorative symbols, and non-Latin letters stay visible as not counted.

Method

A=1 through Z=23 in the classical 23-letter order; J=I, U=V, and W is not counted. Calculations use the table below with the listed text cleanup, variant behavior, and reading direction. Use Latin / English text for native receipts. Other source scripts are labeled as bridge-derived values when transformed for this method.

Use this number

After a value is ready, keep this method selected when checking public Names, source texts, and same-value matches. Private readings and Library notes stay separate.
