the Tamil-script symbol for the digit 5 is neat: ௫
-F
@starkatt I have no idea, honestly! I just noticed the symbol in a list of what counts as a number as far as unicode is concerned, and thought it looked neat
the list even had a disclaimer that many of the symbols other than arabic numerals are no longer common, with arabic numerals having supplanted them for most uses, so it's possible that they just use arabic numerals like we do in english
-F
@Felthry on the one hand it's neat how Arabic numerals have crept into all kinds of languages, but y'know, loss of linguistic diversity is always a bummer too.
@starkatt Agreed.
-F/R
@Felthry how does expressing numbers work in Tamil?
