Every numeral system in the world, from ancient Roman to modern Arabic, is built on a small set of base symbols combined to represent any number imaginable. Yapiri's system is no different: ten carefully designed digits, placed side by side, can express any quantity in the Kokborok script.

This post is a visual reference. Every number from 1 to 100 is rendered here directly from the Yapiri font — so you can see exactly what each number looks like in the script, learn the pattern, and start recognising numbers when you encounter them in Yapiri text.

The Ten Digits

Everything starts here. Yapiri's ten digits occupy codepoints U+E01F (zero) through U+E028 (nine). Learn these ten forms and you can read any number written in the script.

Yapiri uses a base-10 positional system — the same logic as the numerals you are already familiar with. A two-digit number places the tens digit first, followed by the units digit. 47 in Yapiri is simply the glyph for 4 followed by the glyph for 7. There is nothing more to learn in terms of structure.

How to read Multi-digit numbers in Yapiri are read left to right, exactly as in Arabic numerals. The leftmost digit is the highest place value.  is 27: the 2-glyph on the left, the 7-glyph on the right.

1 to 10

The first ten numbers use the ten base digits directly. The tens multiples — highlighted in gold throughout the tables below — are worth memorising first, as they anchor every other number.

"Notice the pattern: the tens digit stays fixed across each row while the units digit cycles through 1 to 9. Once you know the ten base forms, every number writes itself."

Beyond 100

One hundred in Yapiri is written as three glyphs: the 1-digit, followed by two 0-digits — exactly as in the positional system you already know. The same logic extends indefinitely. A thousand is four digits: 1 followed by three zeros. The system is completely regular; once you know the ten base forms, no number is out of reach.

The full character chart — with all 48+1 Yapiri characters, their romanization, IPA values, and codepoints — is available on the Download page. To practise typing numbers in Yapiri right now, the web keyboard has the full numeral row mapped to the number keys.

The Heart of the Matter

One hundred numbers. Ten glyphs. The Yapiri numeral system asks almost nothing of the learner — just ten forms, and then simple combination. What it gives back is the ability to write every date, every age, every price, every measurement, every page number in a book in the Kokborok script.

That is not a small thing. It is the difference between a script that handles poetry and a script that handles life.
