Caps lock doesn't change the number row to use the alternate characters. It'd still type numbers.
Are you an Apple user? I have that same issue with my tablet. My PC and almost all other computers I've used do change the numbers with caps lock.
No. Current Linux user, former Windows user. I've never seen a device where caps lock effects those key's functions. Are you an Apple user, and if not are you using a different keyboard layout than QWERTY?
You can customize the caps lock behavior on linux if you want, i have my caps lock work as an additional control button.
On Gnome you can do it from the Gnome Tweaks app.
