Do these numeral systems use place value like ours?

Yes. All the systems shown here are positional, base-10 systems that share the structure of Western Arabic numerals — only the digit shapes differ. So 0–9 map one-to-one and larger numbers are written the same way, just with different glyphs.

What is the difference between Arabic and Eastern Arabic numerals?

The digits 0–9 you read here are Western Arabic numerals, used in Europe and most of the world. Eastern Arabic numerals (٠١٢٣...) are the forms used across much of the Arabic-speaking Middle East. Both descend from Indian numerals.

Are these the official digits of each country?

They are the traditional native digits associated with each script. In practice many countries use Western Arabic numerals day to day, with native digits appearing in formal, religious, cultural or decorative contexts.

How are the conversions done?

Each Western digit 0–9 is mapped to the matching code point in the target script's Unicode digit block, and the input is rewritten character by character. Non-digit characters such as decimal points are left unchanged.

See any number in eight numeral systems

Most of the world’s modern numeral systems are positional and base-10 — only the digit shapes differ. This reference shows the 0–9 glyphs for eight non-Latin systems and lets you type any number to see it rewritten in each one.

How it works

Each system’s digits occupy a contiguous block in Unicode, starting at the glyph for zero. To convert, the tool maps each Western digit to its counterpart by offset:

Western:        0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Eastern Arabic: ٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩  (U+0660 + digit)
Devanagari:     ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९  (U+0966 + digit)
Thai:           ๐ ๑ ๒ ๓ ๔ ๕ ๖ ๗ ๘ ๙  (U+0E50 + digit)

Because all these systems share base-10 place value, the rewrite is a simple digit-for-digit substitution; spaces, signs and decimal separators pass through untouched.

Tips and notes

These are glyph substitutions only — the numeric value is identical across all systems.
Many locales use Western Arabic numerals in everyday text even when their script has native digits.
Native digits are common in formal documents, currency, calendars and decorative use.
Copy a converted number to use native digits in localised UI, certificates or design work.
