They’re definitely known as Arabic numerals elsewhere too. It’s mentioned in Math class fairly early on when Roman numerals are also introduced. I’m sure that even in American schools, it’s mentioned that they’re called Arabic numerals.
Unless you mean that in Chinese there’s just no word for “numbers” and you have to use the name of the specific system?
I mean, I’ve personally never heard of the term “Arabic Numeral” being uttered in a classroom from 2nd grade all the way through Highschool in the US Schools I’ve went to. It’s just “write the numbers in words” or in “numbers/digits”.
Damn, maybe the US system is worse than I thought.
There are so many general knowledge things that aren’t necessary for survival or to do your job that the general populace seems to lack. This is one of them

Which is a sad indictment of the school system you attended.
