Answer 1

Do you have the verse segments set for the project (Project > Language Settings > Other Characters tab > Verse segment characters field)?

I did not set anything here. What should I add here? The Burmese alphabet or Burmese numerals.

You need to change the text to use western numerals after every \v
Your John chapter 1 has western numerals and doesn’t have a problem:

Your John chapter 2 has Burmese numerals after some of the \v, these need to be changed (red underlines)

Answer 2

Do you try to have Burmese numerals for verse numbering? Maybe this question helps:

Can non-Arabic numbers be used for verse numbers? Questions

When a new PT project or book is created, verse numbers are automatically provided as arabic numerals (1,2,3,4,5…) in whatever versification the user chooses. I’ve had a request to be able to use numerals in another writing system for verse numbers. Is this possible? Thanks. Dennis

To summarize anon719148’s link, you cannot use Burmese numerals as verse markers in Paratext. Paratext will only recognize the western numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9 and 0 as verse numbers (or as chapter numbers). If you want to display the Burmese numbers you can enter them after a \vp marker, but this is for display only. When you are at the point of publishing your text, there are ways the typesetter could replace the western numbers Paratext needs with the Burmese numbers.
