Good idea. Until the new floating hamza is added to Unicode (hopefully) using U+0621 for lam-hamza-alif and yaa-hamza-x sequences conditionally for Arabic would be the most practical aproach. Although, does OpenType support substituting a lam-hamza-alif glyph when these three characters are encountered in a sequence? I thought there was also a rendering engine related problem in this case - but maybe my memory is failing me. > In the mean time, a proposal should be made to add a > new Arabic letter > floating hamza to the standard that is conditionally > equivalent to U+0621. This could be part of our joint proposal then. Also what about the new logical character for variant tanween cases? Do you have a description for such a potential character?
