  Perhaps they mean Eastern Arabic numerals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals

    Indeed - those are in use by millions of people. I wonder if any regexp implementation has started matching all of the other number symbols in Unicode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerals_in_Unicode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerals_in_Unicode

      Perl does, by default. There's a modifier if you want to only match ASCII digits.
