Eastern Arabic numerals

Written numerals are arranged with their lowest-value digit to the right, with higher value positions added to the left.

Eastern numerals continue to see use in Urdu publications and newspapers, as well as signboards.

[clarification needed] In the Maghreb, only Western Arabic numerals are commonly used.

In medieval times, these areas used a slightly different set (from which, via Italy, Western Arabic numerals derive).

The Thaana writing system used for the Maldivian language adopted its first nine letters (haa, shaviyani, noonu, raa, baa, lhaviyani, kaafu, alifu, and vaavu) from Perso-Arabic digits.
