>The Arabic language requires some of the characters noted in Form-B >(along with a good portion of U+0600 - U+06FF). Form-A is noted/titled >as "Arabic Presentation Form-A" yet it is not required or used by the >"Arabic" _language_ (you can think of Form-A as a derivative list >characters that were spawned from Arabic that other languages are using). I don't know if I misunderstood. An Arabic input system can only keyin "Arabic" _language_ with codes in U+0600 - U+06FF and it will be shaped to U+FE70 - U+FEFF only. And the Presentation Form-A is newly created codes, which is used to present some terms that Arabic doesn't have it originally. Is that right? ;b Best Regards, -Iven
