I think that Roozbeh had these ISO 8859-6 characters in mind:

        0xEB ARABIC FATHATAN
        0xEC ARABIC DAMMATAN
        0xED ARABIC KASRATAN
        0xEE ARABIC FATHA
        0xEF ARABIC DAMMA
        0xF0 ARABIC KASRA
        0xF1 ARABIC SHADDA
        0xF2 ARABIC SUKUN

These *are* combining characters, or am I loosing something?
