Numbers localization in Web applications

Question

How can I set the variant of Arabic numeral without changing character codes ?

Eastern Arabic      ۰   ۱   ۲   ۳   ٦   ٥   ٤   ۷   ۸   ۹
Persian variant              


        

Answer 1

I imagine the best way is to use a regexp to search what numeric characters should be changed via adding a class name to the div that needs a different numeric set.

You can do this using jQuery fairly easy.
