Hello Unicode-List,
I need to figure out a method to convert Arabic
Unicode text encoded in its normal form to Arabic
Unicode text encoded in Arabic presentation forms. So
the Unicode of each character having an Arabic
encoding (ex: 0622) would be converted to the
equivalent Arabic presentation fo

Plain old Arial actually isn't your best choice, because it displays the
circumflex-plus-grave and circumflex-plus-acute combinations
incorrectly. For Vietnamese they're supposed to be si

Not too off-topic, IMHO, as it concerns the still uncomplete
besides ms arial would anybody like to recommend a font suitable for
vietnamese?

Barry,
If you think that this is bad try 390 mainframe EBCDIC shift to upper case.
You can shift up to 256 characters at a time with a single machine language
instruction by ORing a line of spaces to your character field. Now that is
bit flipping and is still heavily used.

To support what Kayur has to say I will add few more
things.
Take for instance a "vowel sigh" (matras as we call here in
India) e.g. say is e (U093F), is combined with a consonant like ka (U0915) in
the sequence it forms ke. (Please see the first image). The repositioning of the
