Conjecture on the occurrence of every digit in algebraic irrational expansions

Let xx be a real irrational algebraic number, let g3g\geqslant3 be a positive integer, and let aa be an integer satisfying 0ag10\leqslant a\leqslant g-1. The gg-ary expansion of xx is the expansion of xx in base gg, whose digits belong to {0,,g1}\{0,\ldots,g-1\}. Digit-occurrence conjecture. The digit aa occurs at least once in the gg-ary expansion of xx. This is a very weak expected property of expansions of irrational algebraic numbers; the source notes that even explicit examples for which a specified digit occurs infinitely often are not known.
