Information About

Arabic Unicode




As of Unicode 5.0, the following ranges encode Arabic Characters :
  • (0600–06FF)

  • (0750–077F)

  • (FB50–FDFF)

  • (FE70–FEFF)


The basic Arabic range encodes the standard letters and diacritics, but does not encode contextual forms (U+0621–U+0652 being directly based on ISO 8859-6 ); and also includes the most common diacritics and Arabic-Indic Digits .
The Arabic Supplement range encodes letter variants mostly used for writing African (non-Arabic) languages.
The Arabic Presentation Forms-A range encodes contextual forms and ligatures of letter variants needed for Persian, Urdu, Sindhi and Central Asian languages.
The Arabic Presentation Forms-B range encodes spacing forms of Arabic diacritics, and more contextual letter forms.
