Arabic Script

U+0600 -- U+06FF

If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check them here with the graphical display at:

Unicode Chart for 0600-06FF
Unicode Chart for FB50-FBFF
Unicode Chart for FE70-FEFF

Characters 0600 through 0603 go beneath a number. Character 0600 shows that a number is displayed. Character 0601 is used for a date in the Common Era. Character 0602 is used to show a footnote reference, Character 0603 is used to show a reference to a page number.

Characters 0610 through 0615 are Honorifics. These are used for very specific purposes. Character 0610 is only used in reference to the Prophet of Islam. Character 0611 is used to bless those who are still alive, Character 0612 is used to bless those who are deceased. Character 0613 is used when referencing a friend of the Prophet. Character 0614 is either used to show respect for someone of character, or used to show respect for a poet. Character 0615 is used to show the beginnning of a verse of the Koran (used in Iran and Pakistan).

Notice that 660-669 and 6F0-6F9 are to be treated as digits in braille.

The key word (ws) means "with shadda". This means an entry will be created to reverse the order of this character with the Shadda, so in braille the dot 6 (Shadda) will come first.

In uncontracted Arabic braille, Alef Lam is shown as a braille "v". This is not the case in braille Farsi.

I wish I had better guidance as to the correct braille to use for 0600-0615 and for 0653-06FF.

Joe Sullivan has prepared the rules for contracted Arabic braille outside of this table.
