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.
