Unicode Version 17.0

۲

U+06F2 "۲" Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Two is a digit glyph used in the Arabic script to represent the number two, primarily within the Eastern Arabic numeral system employed across the Middle East, Iran, and parts of South Asia. Unlike the standard Western digit "2" or the standard Arabic numeral "2" used in Modern Standard Arabic, this character belongs to the "Extended Arabic-Indic" block and is specifically designed for languages like Persian, Urdu, and Sindhi, where it appears in a distinct cursive form that curves leftward in alignment with the right-to-left writing direction. The digit is encoded as part of the Unicode Standard to ensure consistent digital representation across computing platforms, allowing for proper display and processing in text that mixes numeric data with Arabic-based scripts.
