Folks,
Folks,
There might be an error with mapping number 0-9 digits (0x30-0x39) for
ISO8859-6 into Unicode.
These numbers are in the ASCII sections below 0x7F and should stay as they
are for any code that manipulates digits in string to work.
Currently the ISO8859-6 mapping table maps the 0-9 digits (0x30-0x39) into
the Hindu numbers in Unicode (0x0660 - 0x0669).
However if you compare with Windows Arabic character set Cp1256 the mapping
table correctly mapps 0x30-0x39 into 0x0030-0x0039.
Can you please advice?
Isn't it more proper for the Hinu numbers to be moved from the 0x0660-0x0669
section into the Arabic Presentation section 0xFE7-0XFEFC since they are
just a different shape from the ASCII 0x30-0x39 digits?
Please reply directly to me, I'm not on the list.
Many Thanks.
Cheers,
