ArabicIndic
Arabic-Indic numerals, also called Eastern Arabic numerals, are a set of ten digits used with the Arabic script to write numbers in the decimal system. Their glyphs are ٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩, distinct in form from the Western digits 0–9. The term Arabic-Indic is used to describe both the digits and the numeric system that accompanies the Arabic script. The digits originate in India and were adopted and adapted by mathematicians in the medieval Islamic world, contributing to the development of the decimal place-value system and the concept of zero. Through trade and scholarship, Hindu-Arabic numerals circulated to Europe, where their shapes helped give rise to the Western digits.
In the modern era, Arabic-Indic numerals are used primarily in the Arabic-speaking world in the form U+0660–U+0669;
