Odd symbol

I came here because I wanted to know what the ௵ symbol is, but the article doesn't mention it at all. Help?? 74.90.220.244 (talk) 22:53, 30 March 2014 (UTC). This symbol means "year" or "வருடம்"[reply]

Incorrect word for 9

A Tamil-speaking colleague of mine told me that the word for 9 is incorrect on this page.

History section is irrelevant

The history section talks about old Rupee symbol, and pillaiyar suzhi. These are not related to Tamil numerals. I propose to remove this section in its entirety unless a relevant history of numerals is written. Sivaraj 10:19, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Two additions that would be helpful

It would be useful for the article to answer two questions:

How are negative numbers represented?
In what way are fractions like 1⁄23654400 ≈ 4.22754×10−8 and 1⁄5320111104000 ≈ 1.87966×10−13 "common" fractions to which very simple names (for these examples, mummi and nāgavintam) are assigned? What is the underlying system or rationale?
