Hi @AlexRatii

Add the following CSS in your child theme or custom CSS plugin to apply Western numerals to quantity input field. Apply the following CSS on your theme to child theme or custom CSS plugin: And add this on your theme’s JS (or through plugin): Using Unicode yours with unicode-bidi: bidi-override; and direction: ltr; in the CSS of your input[type="number"] is the trick to escape Arabic digits. This keeps your theme 100% English while making sure that all numeric fields show the same standard Western number format across the entire store.

Hi @AlexRatii

It’s happening because your Shopify theme (or browser/device settings) is using Arabic-Indic numerals for the quantity input — even if the store language is English.

Here are 4 ways to fix it, starting with the ones that work in most cases:

1. Force English (Western) numerals via CSS

Add this to your theme’s base.css (or theme.css) file:

input[type="number"] {
    font-feature-settings: "lnum";
    font-variant-numeric: lining-nums;
    direction: ltr;
}

If your theme or font is applying Arabic digits, this forces English “lining numbers.”

2. Override locale using CSS

Some themes switch numerals based on body direction. Force western digits:

input[type="number"],
.quantity__input {
    unicode-bidi: plaintext;
}

Or:

.quantity__input {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif !important;
}

Arial always shows English digits.

3. Check Shopify Admin → Languages

Go to:

Settings → Store details → Languages

Make sure:

Primary store language: English

• No RTL language is installed (Arabic, Urdu, Farsi)

If an RTL language is added—even if not active—some themes load Arabic numeral styles.

4. Check browser/device language

On Windows/Android browsers — if your device language uses Arabic-Indic digits, some input fields show Arabic numbers.

To test:

• Try in another browser
• Try on desktop & phone

If only one device shows it → device language issue.
