http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12915 Summary: Accept Arabic and Persian Unicode digits in <input type=number> Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: ehsan@mozilla.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org, w3@behdad.org The Arabic and Persian languages use their own Unicode code points for digits (U+0660-0669 for Arabic, and U+06F0-06F9 for Persian, see <http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf>). Many Arabic and Persian keyboard layouts map those code points to the digit keys on keyboards, to enable users speaking those languages to enter digits in their language. <input type=number> should allow those code points to be entered, and require UAs to treat them as Latin digits for processing and form submission, to make the form control usable to Arabic and Persian users. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
