Hi,

If you look at https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22299.html, the numerals in the comments are the wrong language. I think the language should be Urdu instead of Eastern Arabic (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals#Numerals).

​

Could this be changed?

Just a note for myself:

Unicode has different characters for Persian vs. Arabic, but not for Urdu.

However, it seems that browsers (or at least Chrome) are smart enough to display the characters correctly if the attribute lang="ur" is added.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_alphabet#Comparison_of_different_numerals
