Apparently they call it "Hindu-Arabic" numbers now. Not sure if that makes it more or less frightening
Sounds like double trouble
Arabs got their numbers from Persians. Europeans got their numbers from Arabs.
The Persians got them from the Indians.
No, it's called Eastern Arabic numerals (١٢٣), and those (123) are western Arabic.
