Bangla numbers

Bangla numerals work exactly like the digits you already know — base ten, same place values, same order. Only the shapes are different, and one of them looks deceptively like a Latin digit.

One trap is worth knowing: ৪ is four, not eight — its closed loop reads convincingly as a Latin 8. The rest are unfamiliar rather than deceptive, and the fastest way to fix them is reading prices and door numbers until they stop needing translation.

Larger numbers combine the same way: ১০ is ten, ২৫ is twenty-five. The number words are much less regular than the digits — Bangla has a distinct word for every number up to a hundred, and they have a section of their own.
