Tibetan Numerals

Tibetan numerals are the special way people in Tibet write and count numbers. They are part of the beautiful Tibetan script. These numbers look a little different from the ones we use every day, but they help people count just the same.

Just like we have numbers 0, 1, 2, and so on, Tibetans have their own symbols for each number. For example, the number 1 is written as ༡, and the number 2 is written as ༢. These numbers are easy to learn and use.
