[Tex/LaTex] How to type Eastern Arabic Numerals

numbering

Is there any easy way to type Eastern Arabic Numerals in TeX? I mean these numbers: (٠‎ ١‎ ٢‎ ٣‎ ٤‎ ٥‎ ٦‎ ٧‎ ٨‎ ٩‎). Please note that I don't want to change the localization settings of my computer to non-US languages. I use US keyboard with US-English localization and need to type eastern Arabic numbers easily.

Best Answer

If you don't have extensive arabic text, you can use:

\documentstyle[12pt,arabtex]{article}
\parindent=0pt 
\begin{document}
\null \vskip -2cm
%
\begin{arabtext}
a b c d e f g h  \\
0123456789\\
donald knuth pasha\\
\end{arabtext}
%
\testoutput
\end{document}

As a matter of interest here in Doha they call them Indian numerals.
