A JTextField will display whatever text is stored in it. If you set its
value to "1234567890" programmatically, or if a user enters such a
string into its UI, then that's what will be displayed. Likewise, if
you set its value to contain indic digits, either programmatically or
through its UI, then that's what will be displayed. (Presuming in both
cases that the font in use contains the necessary characters). I'm not
sure why you would expect anything different.
