Need to complain about the lack of Arabic inclusion in software again.
Context: we call our numerals "Arabic" but it's ✨ complicated ✨ so for this post I'll use the terms "western" vs "eastern".
As you can see in the image, these numbers are not the same as ours, there are clearly similarities but surely also differences.
So what I want is a second clock on my phone to see the time in Arabic, to practice. (Everyone who's ever learned a language knows that numbers are hard!)
You'd think that this is available. Digital clock, android, widget, these Eastern Arabic numerals.
Think again 😭
