I would assume you’re writing a number which doesn’t require letters, unless of course you’re spelling it out as would be the case as the first word of a sentence. “What are some examples of a number”? Why bother typing all these letters in a word to simply make them easier to read?

I’ve done journalistic transcription, and even if the person speaking says, for example, “April 15th” we’re required to type it as “April 15th”. Even though you spell it as “April 15th” in your head. When you read it yourself, you pronounce it as “April 25th.” When a speaker says, for example, “The 15th of April”, it is typed out.
