title: C# int and non-English numbers
body: <p>Can C# <code>int</code> data type hold <em>culture specific numbers</em> like <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals#:%7E:text=The%20Eastern%20Arabic%20numerals%2C%20also,that%20use%20the%20Persian%20numerals" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Eastern Arabic</a></em> numbers? E.g. <code>&quot;123&quot;</code> will be</p>
  <pre><code>١٢٣
  </code></pre>
  <p>I’m working with SoapUI to send requests and receive responses.
  The web service is written in <strong>c#</strong>.</p>
  <p>However when I enter these <em>Eastern Arabic</em> numbers in Soap UI, it says</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>“The value cannot be parsed”.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>It’s not clear if it’s Soap UI issue or <strong>c#</strong> issue.</p>
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
  <p>Appreciate your answers!</p>
