Why are there two types of “Arabic” numerals?

It can be confusing! The digits used in the West (0, 1, 2, 3) are historically known as “Western Arabic Numerals” because they were introduced to Europe by Arab mathematicians. However, in the Mashriq (Eastern Arab world—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.), a different set of symbols is used, known as “Eastern Arabic Numerals” (٠, ١, ٢, ٣).

This tool helps bridge that gap, allowing you to translate the Eastern symbols back into the Western system used globally for computing and international commerce.
