If you're looking for what I think you're looking for, this will accept up to 4 numbers, but no mix of both types of characters within the number or character blocks (although a user can do Arabic numbers and Saudi characters or Saudi numbers and Latin characters).

^[\u0660-\u0669|\d]{1,4}[\u0621-\u064A|\w]{3}

Legal entries:

٢٤٧٩sdf
1334aif
1234حكهـ
حكهـ٢٤٧٩
123abc
12abc
1abc

Illegal Entries:

٢1٧2 sكf
alfksjdd
12347844

Note that the end of line symbol ($) is omitted as this conflicts with Arabic's directionality. The beginning of line symbol is fine and is necessary to prevent longer, illegal entries which contain the pattern.

According to given image example and

Saudia(KSA) car number pattern contain three letters and up to four numbers

You could do it simply, like this:

\d{1,4}[A-Z]{3}

Explanation:

\d{1,4} -> means between 1 and 4 digits

[A-Z]{3} -> means 3 upper case letters

But if you need to include arabic letters as well, then you should use their unicode specific code points, which you can find here Unicode for Arabic letters.

Unfortunately I don't know arabic, so I can't test it more than just copy-pasting some of letters you gave.

But theoretically it would be something like this:

\d{1,4}[A-Z\x{0600}-\x{06FF}]{3}

Explanation:

\d{1,4} -> means between 1 and 4 digits

[A-Z\x{0600}-\x{06FF}]{3} -> means 3 unicode characters with code between 0600 and 06FF (according to attached table)

Here is an example that restricts you to the letters A, B and C. You can replace with the specific list of letters:

\d{4}[ABCD]{3}
