U0660U0669

U+0660 to U+0669, commonly described as the Arabic-Indic digits, are a set of decimal numeral glyphs used in systems that employ the Arabic script. These code points represent the digits 0 through 9 and are distinct from the Western European digits, although they carry the same numeric values.

In Unicode, the digits occupy the Arabic block, with code points ranging from U+0660 to U+0669. They have the numeric values 0 through 9 and are categorized in Unicode as decimal digits. In rendering, they are used in right-to-left scripts and can appear in the same contexts as Arabic text, often alongside Arabic letters and punctuation.

A closely related set is the Eastern Arabic-Indic digits, which are encoded at U+06F0 to U+06F9. These glyphs are used in languages such as Persian (Farsi), Urdu, and other regions where the Eastern Arabic-Indic numeral system is preferred. Although visually similar to the Arabic-Indic digits, the Eastern Arabic-Indic digits are a separate numeral series within Unicode.

Usage and representation: to write the sequence for the decimal digits 0 through 9 using the Arabic-Indic digits, one would use the code points U+0660 through U+0669 in order. For example, the decimal sequence 1, 2, 3 is written as U+0661 U+0662 U+0663 in that numeral system.

Summary: U+0660–U+0669 encode the Arabic-Indic digits 0–9, serving as the primary Arabic-script numerals in many contexts, while U+06F0–U+06F9 cover the Eastern Arabic-Indic digits used in Persian, Urdu, and related languages.
