DON'T use Roman numerals to mark matching joints.
Easy to confuse II and III. Duh.....
I don't usually do that but for some reason I did and cause me trouble!!

I use arabic numbers and write them in the same orientation on the matching corners. I had the same issue with roman numerals.

Life's too short to use old sandpaper.
I use the Greek alphabet with the English alphabet if more letters are needed.

This indicates one omega with an arrow pointing up. It is in an area inside the joint so it will not show when it is assembled.

Hey, I go so far as to completely scribble out my waste on all faces because apparently I don't see X's.
I've been using roman numerals as well. As I'm also very mistake prone I should probably take your advice and change that.
Binary representations are invariably most-significant-bit-leftmost within a single byte, so "2" decimal is always "10" binary.
When you get to multi-byte values then endian-ness may come into play if it's the binary contents of some machine's memory as opposed to an abstract number.
only if you like your LSB on the left.
