I'm trying to remove the ability to input persian/arabic numbers with mobile phones. Specifically (١٢٣) button in iOS. any hint is appreciated.

I have already tried the pattern="[0-9]" and pattern="\d" but both show the persian numbers.

I don't want to convert numbers. I just want to remove 123 icon in iOS tel keyboard.

P.S: I`M NOT USING jQuery

Why does that matter? You can still get the right number with `element.valueAsNumber`. – Sebastian Simon Nov 25 '19 at 18:05
Just handle on key (down ? ) press events. Test, and if not `/^[0-9]*$/` in the edit box, replace using this `/[^0-9]+/` with "" nothing. Try not to use anything complex. – Nov 25 '19 at 18:10
@SebastianSimon can you give an example? – sina farbod Nov 25 '19 at 18:16
There are solutions without jquery listed in the duplicate links. – Wiktor Stribiżew Nov 25 '19 at 18:22
@WiktorStribiżew I am trying to understand is there anyway to remove 123 icon in iOS or not. I am not trying to convert digits. – sina farbod Nov 25 '19 at 18:24
So why did you try to set `pattern` attribute with regex that only enforces on submit and not as-you-type validation? – Wiktor Stribiżew Nov 25 '19 at 18:28
patterns changed the keyboard from (numbers and characters) to (numbers) in iOS. so I was asking for some patterns (if it exists) to remove ١٢٣. thats why this is not a duplicate question! – sina farbod Nov 25 '19 at 18:34
With `pattern` attribute, you can't remove anything, it only validates the input on form submit. – Wiktor Stribiżew Nov 25 '19 at 19:36
