please re-read my post

especially this part:
*If 'A'-'Z' is not appropriate for your language, please send me the range
specific to your language*
*NOTE: this should be the range i.e. unicode code for first letter should
be less than code for the second one*
*codes can be checked for ex. here http://www.unicode.org/charts/
<http://www.unicode.org/charts/>*

For Arabic the above mean:
1) go to http://www.unicode.org/charts/
2) choose `Arabic`
3) send me the range for ex:
        start (code 0621)  ء
        end (code 064A)  ي


I don't think 0-9 is a good idea in general
so you can do this change later on for your local installation
