Eastern Arabic numerals
The Eastern Arabic numerals, also called Indo-Arabic numerals, or Arabic–Indic numerals, as designated by Unicode, are the symbols used to represent numerical digits in conjunction with the Arabic script in the countries of the Mashriq (the east of the Arab world) and the Arabian Peninsula, and the variants in other countries that use the Persian numerals on the Iranian plateau and in Asia. The early Hindu–Arabic numeral system used a variety of shapes.
