ntounsi has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq: == Are all numbers equal? == Are all numbers equal in category and directional property? - Digit 2 (U+0032) is of category "EN, European Number". OK. - Arabic-digit indic ٢ (U+0662) is of category "AN, Arabic number". OK. - but the other ۲ (U+06F2), the Eastern Arabic-Indic counterpart of it, is of category "EN, European Number" like digit 2. Any reason to this difference between the last two? There is also a difference in Bidi behavior : the same visual text ![a2b](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/15004708/19693793/baa47060-9ad4-11e6-9821-12ac5c99a473.png) will be displayed in RTL context as ![b2a](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/15004708/19693813/d7b7f488-9ad4-11e6-98fc-24b54909e634.png) if ![two](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/15004708/19693857/0cdc9f06-9ad5-11e6-9443-1053427e1773.png) is Arabic number, and ![a2b](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/15004708/19693882/1ef6dde6-9ad5-11e6-946c-150301c03d1f.png), if European number (simply like "a 2 b"). Aren't ALL numbers WEAK in directional property? Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/85 using your GitHub account
