Armenian numerals

The Armenian font number is a number font that is based on the Armenian script. There was no sign of zero. The Armenian figures were widely used until the takeover of Indian numerals, sometimes they are still used to indicate years or chapter numbers.

Examples

To display numbers only uppercase letters are used basically because the Armenian font initially did not contain small letters. The numbers Օ (10000) and Ֆ (20000) were first introduced in the Middle Ages, when the corresponding letters were added to the alphabet.

  • ՍԴ = 2000 4 = 2004
  • ՍՄԻԲ = 2000 200 20 2 = 2222
