Ottoman Siyaq Numbers

• Define clear typography rules for Ottoman Siyaq numerals, including baseline alignment and stroke contrast, and document them in design specs.
• Ensure robust font fallback and UTI/bidi support so numerals render correctly in mixed script content.
• Create UI previews that show numerals in common contexts (tables, tallies, annotations) to guide usage decisions.
• Provide consistent naming and metadata for each glyph to aid accessibility and search.
• Link to related blocks to help designers compare style decisions: Geometric shapes, Arrows, Currency Symbols, Box Drawing.

Ottoman Siyaq numerals are a historical numeral system used in manuscript contexts. They are part of a family of symbols employed for accounting and record-keeping, and they often appear alongside other scripts in multi-script documents.

In practice, designers encounter a mix of isolated digits, long-form tallies, and abbreviations. The main challenges include ensuring right-to-left rendering, consistent spacing, and clear legibility at small sizes. Use clear naming and documentation to help content authors implement them accurately.
