Two kinds of Arabic numbers
The digits 0 to 9 are written differently across the Arab world. Most of the Gulf and Egypt use the Arabic-Indic digits ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩, while North Africa uses 0123456789. Persian and Urdu use their own forms ۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹. Forms and banking apps often need one kind only, so this tool converts every digit in your text, including decimal points and thousands separators.
Writing Arabic names in English
There is no single official spelling for most Arabic names. Muhammad, Mohammed and Mohamed are all used. Use the spelling already on your passport for every document, so your papers match.
Frequently asked questions
Which spelling should I use on official forms?
