<div><br></div><div>However, after a little search on the internet I found this website: <a href="http://www.muftah-alhuruf.com/">http://www.muftah-alhuruf.com/</a> If I copy-paste the Arabic(Hindi) numbers I type on this website to TW, then they appear as Arabic (Hindi) numbers. But, as I said, if I copy-paste them from Libreoffice, they do not. By the way, I am opening this website under Chrome and Firefox.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also do not think it is with the fonts. Fonts like KacstBook and Amiri seem to include Arabic (hindi) digits. What is more, they probably do not have common Arabic numerals.</div><div><br></div><div>

What happens if you copy-paste the numbers into TW? Do they not appear? Then it might just be a question of fonts; you need to use a font that has the glyphs for arabic numbers in TW.<br>
