I think that Roozbeh had these ISO 8859-6 characters in mind:

        0xEB    ARABIC FATHATAN
        0xEC    ARABIC DAMMATAN
        0xED    ARABIC KASRATAN
        0xEE    ARABIC FATHA
        0xEF    ARABIC DAMMA
        0xF0    ARABIC KASRA
        0xF1    ARABIC SHADDA
        0xF2    ARABIC SUKUN

These *are* combining characters, or am I loosing something?
