Description
Problem Statement
Calculator only supports English (Western) numeral. If I change my keyboard layout and enter (or paste) Persian numeral, it simply does nothing!
Proposal
Support more numeral systems as input, but show them as English (Western) numeral.
Examples: Hindu–Arabic numeral system
0 = ۰ 1 = ۱ 2 = ۲ 3 = ۳ 4 = ۴ 5 = ۵ 6 = ۶ 7 = ۷ 8 = ۸ 9 = ۹
Goals
I can enter digits with any keyboard layout, pretty fast, no worries.
