Is it correct to use the numbers 786 instead of Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalamu Alaikum, Is it correct to use the numbers 786 instead of Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim?

Answer

(Fatwa: 438/438=M/1429)

786 is the number of bismillah, it is traditionally written by elders. 786 is written to save bismillah from desecration; therefore there is no wrong in writing it. However, it is better to write bismillah where there is no fear of desecration.
