GOV.UK Design System numeric text-input guidance
Documents numeric entry guidance, inputmode numeric for whole numbers, explicit number error messages, too-low and too-high messages, between-range messages, decimal money wording, and cautions against using input type number without user-research support because accidental increments and unclear invalid-entry feedback can harm completion.
