    How to show English numbers as Persian numbers?

    This issue can be changed in different ways and English numbers can be displayed in the form of Persian numbers.

    First solution: Just enable the ss01 feature in the app, which is the best solution. With this solution, you can have Persian numbers in some places and English numbers in some places without using multiple fonts.

    If you use fonts on the web, you can use this code sample in the site code.

    .sample_farsi_digits {
      font-feature-settings: "ss01";
    }
                

    The second solution: use the Persian number font. These artificially or hacked fonts show Farsi numbers instead of English numbers, which is not recommended, but you can do it.
