The most interesting exotic numeral systems I know of are Cistercian numerals [1] and Indic [2] and Ottoman [3] Siyaq numbers. The latter two were even added to Unicode 14.0 [3][4], but not many fonts support them.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cistercian_numerals" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cistercian_numerals</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Indic_Siyaq_Numbers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Indic_Siyaq_Numbers</a><p>[3]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ottoman_Siyaq_Numbers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ottoman_Siyaq_Numbers</a><p>[4]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unicode.org&#x2F;charts&#x2F;PDF&#x2F;U1ED00.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unicode.org&#x2F;charts&#x2F;PDF&#x2F;U1ED00.pdf</a><p>[5]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unicode.org&#x2F;charts&#x2F;PDF&#x2F;U1ED00.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unicode.org&#x2F;charts&#x2F;PDF&#x2F;U1ED00.pdf</a>
