Trying to convey "Confection" or "Sweets" using Japaneese number wordplay I am trying to convey a meaning using old Japanese numeral wordplay. The idea is to say something similar to the word for Sweets or Confection with up to 3 numbers. My understanding is that this word is Okashi. I have gotten as far as to get 0_4. I seem unable to complete this word however, as I am missing a number that represents the "Ka" sound. How should I best convey the idea of a cake, candy, or other sweet confection through this method? This is apparently a code used on old Japanese pagers. For example: 831 converts to Veggie, 049 = Swim, 187 = Spark

I think that is not appropriate for your wordplay because "ka" sound doesn't exist in Japanese numbers' sound. I think that is appropriate, and it is 082.
