How can I view Arabic/Persian numbers in a HTML page with strict doctype?

Question

I have an HTML page that is right-to-left. When I don\'t use any doctype, my numbers are in Arabic/Persian, but when I use strict mode they turn to English.

Answer 1

here is a little javascript code that converts a 1234 string to ١٢٣٤ string

   var map =
    [
    "&\#1632;","&\#1633;","&\#1634;","&\#1635;","&\#1636;",
    "&\#1637;","&\#1638;","&\#1639;","&\#1640;","&\#1641;"
    ];

    function getArabicNumbers(str)
    {
        var newStr = "";

        str = String(str);

        for(i=0; i
