There is also the issue with Arabic that Unicode might not be able to keep up with its morphology... Ill report more later, but apparently Arabic -as rendered by unicode is not quite up to grade in terms of the rules for morphing letters depending on their placement
Are you sure the problem is with Unicode itself, and not with your browser or operating system? Unicode doesn't "render" anything, Unicode only specifies what codepoint corresponds to what letter. I don't know any Arabic, but if I type random Arabic letters in Windows 2000 Notepad, they are indeed rendered as different shapes depending on whether each letter is isolated, intial, medial, or terminal. It is not Unicode itself that does this, it should be done by your operating system.
