  Here are the decimal digits 0123456789 written in 6 different human language scripts.
  
  arabic = ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩
  balinese = ᭐᭑᭒᭓᭔᭕᭖᭗᭘᭙
  chinese = 零一二三四五六七八九
  devanagari = ०१२३४५६७८९
  khmer = ០១២៣៤៥៦៧៨៩
  tibetan = ༠༡༢༣༤༥༦༧༨
  
  You do not need to do any programming for this challenge. Looking at the results window, bottom right, which result is the odd one out and why?
  
  I will not be giving my answer to this challenge to anyone but I happy to guide people to the answer with a series of clues, one clue at a time. So, if you cannot solve this challenge, please email me or if you do not know me email address, tweet me @andreschappo or contact me on Weibo 微博 @schappo for a clue. It is my belief and personal experience that you will learn much more this way rather than me just giving you my solution(s).
  
  If you spot any typos or bugs please let me know.
