The [http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf Unicode block for Arabic] is U+0600-U+06FF. There are two other blocks for Arabic Presentation Forms. They are included in Unicode because they were present in earlier standards from other sources. Almost all of these forms can be generated by software that correctly handles Arabic ligatures. The forms that cannot be generated in the desired manner in word processing software should normally appear as graphics anyway. |

The Unicode block for Arabic is U+0600-U+06FF. There are two other blocks for Arabic Presentation Forms. They are included in Unicode because they were present in earlier standards from other sources. Almost all of these forms can be generated by software that correctly handles Arabic ligatures. The forms that cannot be generated in the desired manner in word processing software should normally appear as graphics anyway.
