Answer 1

You can do it with function to translate Aracbic Characters list, Its very simple to do.

As Like :

function (regexStr) {
   regexStr = replace(regexStr,"ۿ","\u0600");
   regexStr = replace(regexStr,"؀","\u06FF");

   return regexStr;
}

Or in another idea replacing [alf] and [ya] to see your text direction correctly

var regexStr = "/[[alf]-[ya]]/";

 function (regexStr) {
   regexStr = replace(regexStr,"[alf]","\u0600");
   regexStr = replace(regexStr,"[ya]","\u06FF");

   return regexStr;
}

Answer 3

Try this:-

function HasArabicCharacters(text)
{
    var arregex = /[\u0600-\u06FF]/;
    alert(arregex.test(text));
} 

Arabic character set of list

[\u0600-\u06ff]|[\u0750-\u077f]|[\ufb50-\ufc3f]|[\ufe70-\ufefc]
