Try searching for cuneiform.

"A" in cuneiform is here: http://www.loyno.edu/~seduffy/cuneiform.jpg

The numbers are here http://educ.queensu.ca/~fmc/april2002/Babylon.htm

As you will see, "A" and "6" both have six downward wedges, but the 
distribution and the shapes themselves are completely different.
