The Roman numerals, in particular, are directly derived from the Etruscan number symbols: 𐌠 , 𐌡 , 𐌢 , 𐌣 , and 𐌟 for 1, 5, 10, 50, and 100 (they had more symbols for larger numbers, but it is unknown which symbol represents which number). As in the basic Roman system, the Etruscans wrote the symbols that added to the desired ...
The Gothic alphabet adopted their own alphabetic numerals along with the Greek-influenced script. [3] In North Africa, the Coptic system was developed in the 4th century AD, [4] and the Ge'ez system in Ethiopia was developed around 350 AD. [5] Both were developed from the Greek model.

In "old style" text figures, numerals 0, 1 and 2 are x-height; numerals 6 and 8 have bowls within x-height, plus ascenders; numerals 3, 5, 7 and 9 have descenders from x-height, with 3 resembling ʒ; and the numeral 4 extends a short distance both up and down from x-height. Old-style numerals are often used by British presses.
Number systems have progressed from the use of fingers and tally marks, perhaps more than 40,000 years ago, to the use of sets of glyphs able to represent any conceivable number efficiently. The earliest known unambiguous notations for numbers emerged in Mesopotamia about 5000 or 6000 years ago.
As with Cyrillic numerals, between 11 and 19 the ordinary sign order is reversed, so the numbers 11 through 19 are typically written with the ones digit before the glyph for 10; for example ⰅⰊ is 6 + 10, making 16, this reflects the Slavic lexical numerals for the teens. [4] [3] For numbers greater than 999, there is conflicting evidence.
