Today I want to make an Arabic quiz which it uses input text. Here is my code:

I know it's still basic. But the problem is it can't detect arabic text/language. When I try to input هاي text, it showed "Wrong!" alert. I don't know why it can't detect arabic language. Any solution?

function answer(ans) {
  if (event.keyCode == 13) {
    if (ans.value == "هاي") {
      alert("Right!");
    } else {
      alert("Wrong!");
    }
  }
}

<input type="text" id="answer" style="direction:RTL;"  
onkeydown="answer(this)">

I copied the Arabic text from the second line got wrong, but if I copy this in the code, got right. I think they might be different texts? – Kane Blueriver Jan 02 '16 at 15:23
it is showing me "right" I typed it in without copying and it is working on chorme adn IE11 but not on Firefox – Mi-Creativity Jan 02 '16 at 15:53
what you expect as result? typing "هاي" will give you "right" – Assem Jan 02 '16 at 20:06
