Arabic Unicode
As of Unicode 5.0, the following ranges encode Arabic characters:
The basic Arabic range encodes the standard letters and diacritics, but does not encode contextual forms (U+0621?U+0652 being directly based on ISO 8859-6); and also includes the most common diacritics and Arabic-Indic digits.
The Arabic Supplement range encodes letter variants mostly used for writing African (non-Arabic) languages.
The Arabic Presentation Forms-A range encodes contextual forms and ligatures of letter variants needed for Persian, Urdu, Sindhi and Central Asian languages.
The Arabic Presentation Forms-B range encodes spacing forms of Arabic diacritics, and more contextual letter forms.
