In a company ID number I have two abbreviations and I need to find out what they stand for.
The number is divided into 3 sections and looks like this:
"samech,bet" Ordinal number "Zayin"
5 000000 23
what do "samech,bet" and "zayin" stand for?
Many thanks,
Suzan

samekh bet is check digit
samekh bet stands for sifrat biqoret, which is usually translated as check digit. I've seen control digit but it sounds like Heblish to me.
No idea about the other one.

It didn't appear right in the layout. The following ID number is divided into 3 sections in a table and I need to know what the abbreviations are.
"samech,bet" - 5
Ordinal number - 000000
"zayin" - 23
Can "zayin" possibly stand for "zehut" or "zihuy"?
Thanks.
