Question

How can I convert Persian/Arabic numbers to English numbers with a simple function?

Answer 1

Short and easy!

"۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹".replace(/([۰-۹])/g, function(token) { return String.fromCharCode(token.charCodeAt(0) - 1728); });

Or in a more modern manner

"۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹".replace(/([۰-۹])/g, token => String.fromCharCode(token.charCodeAt(0) - 1728));
