Intl.Locale.prototype.numberingSystems
The Intl.Locale.prototype.numberingSystems
property is an accessor property that returns one or more unique numbering system identifiers according to the numeral system used by the Locale
.
Description
A numeral system is a system for expressing numbers. The numberingSystem
property helps to represent the different numeral systems used by various countries, regions, and cultures around the world. As with most internationalization schemas, the numeral systems that can be represented in a Locale
object by numberingSystem
are standardized by Unicode. A table of the standard Unicode numeral systems can be seen below.

Examples
Obtaining supported numberingSystem
values via the locale string
In the Unicode locale string spec, the values that numberingSystem
represents correspond to the key nu
. nu
is considered a locale string "extension subtag". These subtags add additional data about the locale, and are added to locale identifiers by first adding the -u
key. To set the numberingSystem
value via the string argument to the Locale
constructor, first add the -u
extension key. Next, add the -nu
extension key to indicate that you are adding a value for numberingSystem
. Finally, add the numberingSystem
value to the string.
List supported number system for a given Locale
.
let arEG = new Intl.Locale("ar-EG");
console.log(arEG.numberingSystems); // logs ["arab"]
let ja = new Intl.Locale("ja");
console.log(ja.numberingSystems); // logs ["latn"]
