Answer 1

Try this:

    public static bool HasArabicGlyphs(string text) {
      char[] glyphs = text.ToCharArray();
      foreach (char glyph in glyphs) {
        if (glyph >= 0x600 && glyph <= 0x6ff) return true;
        if (glyph >= 0x750 && glyph <= 0x77f) return true;
        if (glyph >= 0xfb50 && glyph <= 0xfc3f) return true;
        if (glyph >= 0xfe70 && glyph <= 0xfefc) return true;
      }
      return false;
    }

Answer 3

internal bool HasArabicCharacters(string text)
{
  Regex regex = new Regex(
    "[\u0600-\u06ff]|[\u0750-\u077f]|[\ufb50-\ufc3f]|[\ufe70-\ufefc]");
  return regex.IsMatch(text);
}

You can use the above method to check for Arabic characters using Regular Expressions.
