- No part of DCC is subtractive: each glyph adds to the running total, so the numeral reads straight through from left to right.
- DCC anchors its whole hundred: every numeral from 700 to 799 opens with DCC, and the letters after that opening carry the rest.
- DCC draws on 2 of the seven symbols, with C doing the most work at 2 appearances.
- Among 700 to 709, 700 is the most compact: no other numeral in its ten gets down to 3 characters.
