Arabic Numbers but no Farsi Numbers

Question

Arabic numbers are always the defult number and I need to change it to farsi.
You can do this in photoshop and the controls there are pretty perfect for langauges but in after effect it's very limit and breaks with a lot of fonts.
Is there away to just pull in the characters, I made an expression that replace the numbers with what ever you like. Works for burmese and other languages but not arabic and farsi.
You can copy the Farsi Number in form photoshop and it converts it. but Ideal I just want to be able to just skip that step and us my expression to replace the numbers using an english keyboard.
٥ - 5 in Arabic
۵ - 5 in Farsi

Unfortunately AE still does not support all Unicode/ OpenType features and that may be one of those very specialized cases. At the very least you should install in a language that supports Arabic and also set your system to that. Otherwise you may be able to enforce your stuff using string.fromCharCode() expressions, but I have no idea what the respective codes would be.
