Hi, Khaled, Arno, Andreas:
All the Arabic characters (consonants, hamzas, but not vowel diacritics or numbers) that I need are betwee U621 (hamza) and 64A; there are vowel diacritics that can be used immediately following these and then the Arabic numbers. (Would any of these look-alikes be security issues? Both these characters are allowed in IDN's; see: http://unicode.org/reports/tr36/idn-chars.html) Thanks all. Best, C. E. Whitehead cewcat...@hotmail.com So I would concur with Khaled and Arno here that U649 is Arabic aleph maqsura ( > Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:09:21 +0200 > From: a...@zedat.fu-berlin.de > To: prilop4...@trashmail.net > CC: unicode@unicode.org; lingu...@artstein.org > Subject: Re: Pashto yeh characters > > Andreas Prilop: > > U+0649 has the traditional name "alif maqsura" because it was > > taken from ISO-8859-6.
