I agree that there should be no reason do convert the ISO 8859-6
decimal digits to the Unicode Arabic-Indic digits. I don't know where
this curious data might actually be coming from, since most of our
data comes from the Unicode Consortium's web site's legacy mapping
data, and there it's simple a business of 0x31 -> 0x00031. Thanks for
the catch.
