Abstract. Recently, there has been a sharp rise of interest in properties of digits primes. Here we study yet another question of this kind. Namely, we fix an integer base g 2 and then for every infinite sequenceof g-ary digits we consider the counting function D,g (N ) of integers n N for whichWe construct sequences D for which D,g (N ) grows fast enough, and show that for some constant ϑ g < g there are at most O(ϑWe also discuss joint arithmetic properties of integers and mirror reflections of their g-ary expansions.
