The rules governing ligature formation in Arabic can be quite complex, requiring special script-shaping technologies such as the Arabic Calligraphic Engine by Thomas Milo's DecoType. [2] As of Unicode 16.0, the Arabic script is contained in the following blocks: [3] Arabic (0600–06FF, 256 characters) Arabic Supplement (0750–077F, 48 characters)

The implicit directional marks are non-printing characters used in the computerized typesetting of bi-directional text containing mixed left-to-right scripts (such as Latin and Cyrillic) and right-to-left scripts (such as Persian, Arabic, Syriac and Hebrew). Unicode defines three such characters, the left-to-right mark, the right-to-left mark ...
Unicode is preferred over Windows-1256 in modern applications, especially on the Internet, where the dominant UTF-8 encoding is most used for web pages, including for Arabic (see also Arabic script in Unicode, for complete coverage, unlike for e.g. Windows-1256 or ISO/IEC 8859-6 that do not cover extras).

The most common superscript digits (1, 2, and 3) were included in ISO-8859-1 and were therefore carried over into those code points in the Latin-1 range of Unicode. The remainder were placed along with basic arithmetical symbols, and later some Latin subscripts, in a dedicated block at U+2070 to U+209F.
ISO 15924, Codes for the representation of names of scripts, is an international standard defining codes for writing systems or scripts (a "set of graphic characters used for the written form of one or more languages"). Each script is given both a four-letter code and a numeric code.
Code page 864 (CCSID 864) [2] (also known as CP 864, IBM 00864) is a code page used to write Arabic in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. [3] CCSID 17248 is the euro currency update of code page/CCSID 864. [4] The euro sign was assigned to the previously undefined code point A7 hex in 1999. [3]
