@khaledhosny Please disregard the digits glyph on images above. Which numbers' shapes (Arabic-European or Arabic-Indic) are used in different countries is "standardized" in CLDR: Arabic numeric shaping (0123456789 vs. ٠ ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩ vs. ...) - appears as part of "Numbering systems" -http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/numbering-systems . For example http://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/bcp47/number.xml or https://github.com/unicode-cldr/cldr-core/blob/master/supplemental/numberingSystems.json have "٠ ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩" defined as "arab" and "1234567890" defined as "latn". Mapping to locale is done via property <defaultNumberingSystem> which is "arab" for ar (http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/main/ar.xml) but "latn" for ar_MA (http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/main/ar_MA.xml) and ar_DZ (http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/main/ar_DZ.xml) In this specific issue the point is in the formula direction (and possibly with flipping math symbols such as root symbol , sigma symbol etc.) not in numeric shaping.
