Scanning thru some arabian books the following sign attracted my attention:
It looks like ARABIC LETTER HAH (isolated form) in a circle. It obviously denotes >>copyright<<. It is used consistently in books printed in Saudi-Arabia, but I have never seen it in a book from any other country (including Yemen, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordania, Egypt, Libya and Morrocco). Therefore I suggest the name SAUDI-ARABIAN COPYRIGHT SIGN for this one. Since the block for letterlike symbols is already almost full, but there are gaps in the primary arabic block (U+0600-FF), it is IMO well placed there. For a sample, see http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/saudi.gif --J"org Knappen P.S. Other interesting symbols on my home page: WARENZEICHEN (encircled Wz) http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/fremd_p7.jpg und http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/frem_p17.jpg GESCHUETZTE SORTE (encircled S, like REGISTERED) http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/gp_p159.jpg http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/gp_p159a.jpg http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/asi_p58.jpg Some phonetic symbols with strikethrough: http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/fremd_p8.jpg
