Animating numbers with glyphs and expressions

[schau.film]

I need to animate a number from 0-100 for a project. The font has a normal one and a glyph version which is a bit diffrent. 

When I copy and paste the special one from illustrator I can obly animate with text animators. I didn't find a way to make a number counting up to three digits. It resets everey time I hit nine. 

When I make the animation with expressions, the glyph one disappears...

Do you know what the character codes are for the glyph numerals? Are they the same as for regular 0-9?

You need to be more specific and provide info on the fonts used, the charcters/ glyphs used and so on. As Dan was already alluding to you may need to use String.fromCharCode() to retain the glyphs, since AE doesn't support all glyph substitutions. If worse comes to worse you may even need to convert it to a graphic and animate a ton of layers by hand. Anyway, more info is required.

Thanks for your responses!

I ended up loading the Font into a Font Editor and copy pasting the glyph "one" to the regular one and exporting as a new font.
