Hi Ezira, it's great to read that someone is actually trying to create ordered lists with the Ethiopic numbers 😊. I don't know the ECMA APIs, but in CSS you can create an Ethiopic numeral list with:
```
<ul style="list-style-type: ethiopic-numeric;">
<li> ... </li>
...
</ul>
```
In answer to your follow-up question, as you've seen the western numerals have been the most used in Ethiopia for some time for general math, commerce, phone numbers, page numbers, and with lists. So it became the default for Amharic locales. A Ge'ez language locale would be the only one that should use the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) numerals by default. If a Ge'ez language ("gez") locale is not using the Ethiopic numerals, I would consider it broken. It may be the case that a developer team did not have time to implement a numeral conversion for a locale (ICU has an API for conversion, but the locale APIs might not be utilizing it).
