I guess the image is a lie and the Kanji are chosen by the reading and not because they contain the number kanji. It’s just that due to phonetic radicals, containing the number may give it the same reading.
I don’t get 4. At least the kanji 4 looks very different
Yeaaaah, I don’t know Chinese, but I’ve never seen a kanji of four horizontal lines, just 四 for 4

A very Christmassy number, that 4. A Chrismas tree and the scaffolding to decorate it.
