Hi gang,
For Arabic we use a Latin transcription in Aleph/(e-)Omega (or even ArabTeX)

One question: The hex for e.g. alif is 0627; how did you get D8A7 from

Ok, I found it:

You might like to look at some of the encoding conversion scripts at:

N.B. For sorting utf-8 Arabic you might find the perl module
`Sort::ArbBiLex' useful

Yes it is, and it shows. But since I'm up and not having any
particular urge to go to bed in this very moment, here's a
tested alternative that works here:

Ok, get some sleep;-) Anyhow, I fixed the line break (is the space between
tilda and `s' correct?)

Just a quick reply (it's bedtime over here): there may be 2 problems. 1
is that the mail program put in an unwanted linebreak after the =~
part, just remove it; it should all be one line. And then: you'll need a

do
perl --versi

Hi gang,
