Digits in world languages
Many languages have their own digits. Bangla and Assamese use ০ ১ ২ ৩ ৪ ৫ ৬ ৭ ৮ ৯, Hindi and Marathi use ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९, Arabic uses ٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩, and there are digits for Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Khmer, Myanmar and many more. These are useful for school work, local signs, wedding cards and official forms written in your own language.
Where number symbols help
Circled numbers make step-by-step guides easy to follow: “① Open the app ② Tap settings ③ Turn it on”. Superscripts and subscripts let you write m², x³ and CO₂ properly without a special editor. Fractions like ½ look neater than 1/2 in recipes. Roman numerals add a classic touch to titles, like “Chapter Ⅳ” or “Class Ⅹ”.
Number symbols also work in social bios and gaming names, where a circled or bold number looks more stylish than a plain digit.
Copy and search numbers
Type what you need, such as “circled”, “fraction”, “superscript”, “roman” or “bengali digit”, to filter the list. Open any number with the i button to see its official name and code point. For a short list of the most popular styles, see the number symbols collection.
A note on maths
Symbols like ² and ½ look right, but spreadsheets and calculators treat them as text, not numbers. Use them for display, and use normal digits when you need a program to calculate.
