What means
Its place decides whether it contributes five, fifty, or five hundred.
Sunuwar’s ten digits cover decimal values zero through nine. In ordinary place-value notation, contributes five units in the ones place, five tens in the tens place, and so on.
Krishna Bahadur Jentich developed the script in 1942 to write Sunuwar, and the original set already included the ten digits. Earlier Unicode proposals called the script Jenticha, after its creator; the 2021 Unicode proposal records later community additions to the letters and marks.
Why does look different?
Fonts supply the outline; the encoded digit keeps its value.
A 2023 comparison of Unicode-proposal and community-developed Sunuwar fonts documents differences among some character designs. The active font determines the visible outline, while still denotes five.
The 2021 Unicode proposal documents older Sunuwar font workflows that mapped the script to Latin-key positions. A glyph that looks like five could therefore be a Latin character in the text rather than .

1Why does show as a box?
The font used to display the text may not include Sunuwar characters. A font with Sunuwar support can show the digit; the missing outline does not change its value.
