• Right. I think I have worked out what you are trying to do. Correct me on the following where I am wrong:

    You have data stored in a database which is numeric, but written in Urdu/Persian.

    The data is stored in an NVARCHAR or NCHAR field.

    You require a method to convert this data from the Urdu representation to the Hindu-Arabic numerals like so:

    ? = 9

    ? = 8

    ? = 7

    ? = 6

    ? = 5

    ? = 4

    ? = 3

    ? = 2

    ? = 1

    ? = 0
