1. On my Linux, start a Win7 virtual machine
   
2. On Firefox and Linux, go to the Wikipedia page mentioned above, swipe a selection on the Eastern Araboc numerals, and copy to the clipboard
   
3. In Win7, start Word on a blank documents, and paste... It works
   
4. In Word, remove the spaces between the characters (this allows me to make sure that what I will paste is indeed from Word (no spaces) and not the initial copy from Firefox (with spaces)
   
5. Select the result and copy
   
6. Paste in Notepad in Win7: works OK
   
7. Paste in Notepad++ in Win7: works OK
   
8. Paste in StickyNotes in Win7: works OK
   
9. Paste in my Linux text editor (Kate): works OK
   
10. Paste in Gimp text tool, to create a text layer in Win7: works OK

So, everything seems to work fine for me... and the problem isn't with Gimp but somewhere in your system (are you using a clipboard manager?)

but My Issue is When Am using The Arabic Language Support in Windows as Typing / With Arabic keyboard Layout Support / here start the Problem
The Arabic numerals cannot be copied or past or either written in other program than the MS Word.
What you can do as follow  to get same situation .

1- Install Windows 8.1 With Arabic Language Support. / Arabic Keyboard ( So Multi Language Support (English USA / Arabic Jordan ).
2- Change The Typing language to Arabic ( Arabic Keyboard ).
3- Try to Typing Character  it should type Arabic literals.
4- Try to Type Numbers ( here is the problem)...!

Sorry but I don't really control which version of Windows I can run in a Virtual Machine. And I have no access to an Arabic keyboard. But if your Arabic entry only works in Word, then the problem is with your system...
