Sounds like something I ought to move to the Swing forum . . .

Several ways to do it; you can set up a regular expression to test the text; you might get "\\d*" to work.
You can parse the text into an int then print it back in Arabic script. You could even have a KeyListener or something which listens for keystrokes. But you will probably get better answers on the Swing forum.

a DocumentFilter might be an option, but how are you handling pasting of text?

First of all, we should be careful with terminology because in
many parts of the world 0123456789 are called "Arabic numerals".
(as opposed to Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX)

But I take it you want to see ٠١٢٣٤٣٥٦٧٨٩ from unicode block 0600?
(For lack of a better name, I'll call these "Arabic Arabic" numerals.)

If so, I'm not sure this best way, but it should work:There shouldn't be any left-to-right vs. right-to-left orientation issues.
