In the number system. 1 is replaced by an emoji of Captain 1's face, and 0 is replaced by an emoji of Captain 0's face.

Extensions[]
More versions of Captain Counting exist that use other/more Number Captains. With Captain -1 they made "Balanced Capternary". With the faces of Captains 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 they've reimagined Roman numerals as "Roman numeral Captains". However hasn't gotten around to making emotes for other Captains, so these are all just hypothetical.
