What are Burmese Numerals?

Burmese numerals (also known as "Myanmar numerals") are the traditional number system used in Myanmar. Unlike the Arabic numeral system, Burmese numerals have their own unique symbols. While Arabic numerals are widely used in daily life in Myanmar, Burmese numerals are still commonly seen in official documents, legal papers, currency, and historical records.
