Hello Meor,

>I'm not sure what it means to have that sequence.

Actually we recently decided against using sukuun since 06DF or 06E0 are better 
choices. These silence consonants whereas sukuun indicates that a consonant is 
vowelless. The analogy of using 06DF or 06E0 is better since symbolically you 
can think of these codepoints indicating that the noon consonant at the end of 
the tanween is silenced (or assimilated as Gregg would say).

So I don't think we will be proposing the modifier to be sukuun, which turns 
out to be a not so fit analogy. That should help you avoid the problem with the 
current MS implementation. 

You can see examples of 06DF and 06E0 here:

(The Unicode Arabic code chart displays the wrong glyphs for 06DF and 06E0, the 
above are accurate. Tom made a proposal on this and God willing the code chart 
will be fixed for Unicode 5.0).

Regards,
Mete
