Also, just to add, while it is known as Arabic numerals, it originated from India, so it's often also known as the Hindu-Arabic numerals. It's mostly known as Arabic numerals to the west because they came to know the numerology of the system via the Arabs. What makes the numerals is not the symbols, but other characteristics of the system such as the positional notation and the decimal base

Just some random guy who is not particularly educated about the subject here.

I think that's how the Arabs of today depict Arabic numerals. Both are Arabic numerals and there are many other scripts, for instance many variations of brahmic scripts that depict the Arabic numerals using various notations.

So both are Arabic numerals using different notations and adapted to be used alongside their own writing system.
