Let me clarify a bit. Mongolian has been historically written with 10 different
kind of characters, and is still  currently written with 3 different alphabets:
Cyrillic in outer Mongolia, Mongol-Uyghur (a vertical script) in Inner Mongolia
and a bit in outer Mongolia, where it is taught to all middle schoolers, and
Latin in many SMSs, though this is usage, still widely followed, is decreasing.
It's not the only language written with different scripts: Chinese and Serbian
are too. Mongol-Uyghur has its own digits. Outer Mongolians also use the Roman
numbering with the meaning of an ordinal number ("III хурал" means "3rd
meeting"), though they also use "-р" (the abbreviation of "дугаар"/"дүгээр",
according to the number, to follow the "vocalic harmony") for the same purpose
("Гуравдугаар хурал" or "3 дугаар хурал" mean "Third meeting" and "3-р хурал"
means "3rd meeting"), and "№" is used for "number" ("Хурал №3" means "Meeting
number 3"). All these except the last one are frequently used to number list or
summary items. There are different Cyrillic alphabets, the Mongolian one having
2 more letters than the Russian one.
   Arabic and Roman numerals, as well as Latin alphabet have a special role in
this planet, being used much more widely than in Arabic and Latin texts. ;-)
   Calc's number format dialogue is quite good, including a "user-defined"
category, but the dialogue depends on a too long list of languages/scripts,
while I'd like to access more quickly the few ones I use.
