To me it looks like they know their verbal and mechanical memory is stronger than their numerical memory. (not sure that’s how they are called in english)
So they basically transcribed the number into a form their mind assimilates more easily: Words and simple strokes they can maybe rattle off with the tip of their finger, or mentally. + maybe numerical sequence they know well already for a reason or another ( the 789 with an arrow to say “this needs to be read backwards”)
When I have to remember a phone number, I don’t remember the numbers themselves, but I remember the “sound” that this phone number makes when it’s said out loud, idk if it makes sense 😭
Luckily due to having to do so mutch math for what i study my brain managed to learn to remembet numbers. Even annoyingly long ones (~30 symbols) if i group them in triplets. How? I have no clue.
Combine that with the more graphical way i think. And you get how i manage to remember the 32 symbols passwords my password manager spits out after i have to put them two times by hand.

Would be a cool little trick if that works. It does sound easier.
