Beware:
The answers with usage of type="tel" don't fully solve the issue especially in case of numeric fields where you might want to write floating/decimal numbers and other allowed characters (like +-.,).

Solution:

Details:
The pattern there will help to keep leading 0s, and behave like numeric field (with all the other allowed characters).
And the inputmode="numeric" will pull numeric keyboard instead of the default one.
