Description

We're looking for information about how telephone numbers are normally written in Adlam.

Do users normally write telephone numbers using the script’s native digits, or are European digits (0–9) generally used instead?

If native digits are used, how should the direction of the telephone number work? In particular, where would you expect characters such as + and parentheses to appear?

Real-world examples (screenshots, publications, websites, or examples of how you personally write phone numbers) would be especially helpful!
