Unicode Technical Note #21: Tamil Numbers 
 
Originally, Tamils did not use zero, nor did they use positional digits (having separate 
 
symbols for the numbers 10, 100 and 1000). Symbols for the numbers are similar to 
 
other Tamil letters, with some minor changes.
 
For example, the number 3782 is not written as ௩௭௮௨ as in modern usage. Instead it 
 
is written as ௩ ௲ ௭ ௱ ௮ ௰ ௨. This would be read as they are written as 
 
Three Thousands, Seven Hundreds, Eight Tens, Two; or in Tamil as 
 
¬}²-ஆயŽர{¢-எ¸-¥‚²-எz-ப{¢-இரzž. [1] 
 
Reference [1] uses Tamil numerals for Chapter numbers. This usage is based on modern 
 
practice, using both positional digits and zero.
 
Reference [2] gives a list of numerals in the ancient format, with some equivalents in 
 
modern format, some in Arabic numerals, and a few in words. The list is reproduced 
 
below with Arabic equivalents, and a few modern word equivalents.
