Script: Arabic
All code points assigned to the Arabic script.
Tips
- Ensure right-to-left layout support and proper text direction.
- Test glyph shaping with contextual forms and ligatures typical to Arabic script.
- Use robust font stacks and fallback for diacritics compatibility.
- Preserve Arabic baseline and alignment in components like buttons and labels.
- Provide accessible rendering with aria-labels and screen-reader-friendly order.
Script: Arabic refers to the writing system used for Arabic and many languages. In design and encoding, handling its right-to-left direction and complex shaping is essential. This category focuses on code points assigned to the Arabic script and how they behave in modern text environments.
Typical usage involves rendering Arabic text in interfaces, ensuring correct shaping, punctuation, and diacritics. Pitfalls include misordered diacritics, broken ligatures, and inconsistent mirroring of UI elements. Historically, Arabic script has evolved with standardized shaping rules and embedding contexts, influencing typography and software rendering.
