This week I updated ConTeXt minimals. Before then, I used the following code so that footnotes to Arabic passages would have parenthesis around them and use the digits used in Arabic texts in the Middle East (e.g. ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩).

\setupnote [arfootnote] [   headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[kitab]},   textcommand=\footnotenotenumbercommand,   alternative=text,   ] \define[1]\footnotenotenumbercommand{{\high{(\convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{#1})}}}

Since the update, for the 123rd footnote, I now get `(123arabic)` instead of `(١٢٣)`.

Elsewhere, I do get the expected output (i.e. `١٢٣٢`) when calling \convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{1232}

I'm still relatively new to ConTeXt, so I'm unsure if what used really is correct, or if it was wrong and I now need to find the right way to do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Next time give a complete MWE with useable fonts

\setupnotation [arfootnote] [numberconversion=arabicdecimals] as in: \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \definenote [arfootnote] \setupnotation [arfootnote] [numberconversion=arabicdecimals] \setupnote [arfootnote] [headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[kitab]}, textcommand=\footnotenotenumbercommand, alternative=text] \protected\def\footnotenotenumbercommand#1{\high{(#1)}} \starttext x\arfootnote{x} \stoptext The #1 passed can be anything that renderes the note so the converters sees rubish. You can see details with you add \detokenize{#1} in your macro.
