Yep. It's like Chinese, for example, had simple numbers 一 二 三 (1, 2, 3) but on the important documents it's gonna be written as 壹 贰 叁 to ensure it can't be changed with a few strokes.
Yep. My native language is Russian and we simply write with letters e.g. 1976 is gonna be одна тысяча девятьсот семьдесят шесть 😂 takes quite a lot of space to write but insures it can't be simply tampered with

This was done in Italy in the old days when everything was on paper and computers were just a dream. It's an anticheat.
e.g.:
A 6 can be easily over-traced to become an 8. Not so much when you write "SIX" next to it.
