I’m not a native speaker of any language that uses Chinese numerals, but I have some familiarity with them and these look weird to me.
1, 2, and 3 are the ordinary forms, 5 is the more formal version used in finance, 6 looks like the ordinary form but with an extra stroke, and 4 is so off that I only identified it by process of elimination.
You only count the four central strokes for four when its written that way, how those kanji came about or how theyre taught to children, is that the stroke number is equal to the numbers value up until you reach ten.
