    I think Muhammad is referring to the numbers used in the Arabic speaking world - ٠١٢ ٣‎٤٥٦٧٨٩‎ (0 - 9 in our script).

    Muhammad, do you mean the file names, or numbers in the documents?

        I cannot replicate this. I uploaded a Word document with the number in it, and it opened correctly in Word Online. Is this what you were doing, or was it a different problem?

    Can you expand upon what you're referencing? [Western] Arabic numerals are what most of the world uses; that is, 0,1,2...9. Are you referring to Eastern Arabic/Hindu numerals instead?
