18 can be written as 16+0+0+2+0 = $\blacktriangle\circ\circ\blacktriangle\circ$

$\blacktriangle \blacktriangle\blacktriangle\circ$ = 8+4+2+0 = 14

21 can be represented as 16+0+4+0+1 which is $\blacktriangle \circ \blacktriangle \circ \blacktriangle$

Here, Triangles are in ten’s, ten thousand’s and lakh’s place. Hence, Their values will be 32, 16 and 0.
Then, $\blacktriangle \blacktriangle \circ \circ \blacktriangle \circ$ = 32+16+0+0+2+0 = 50

Since, the second letter is a consonant and last letter is a vowel, code for Z and code for E should be the same which is the code for E.
CZUVSE can be coded as #>\$52>
