The Persian Setting control panel

This control panel has features similar to the Arabic Setting
control panel.
v Caution: If both Arabic and Persian scripts are installed in

your system, you will not be able to select different settings
for each script. The settings will default to the most recent
selection in the Arabic or Persian Setting control panel. v

The Arabic characters encoding table

The character encoding table used in the Arabic Language Kit is
shown below.

Column rank represents the first code digit, and row rank
represents the second code digit. Rank starts from 0.

For example, letter b is in the 6. column and the .2 row, so its
hexadecimal code is $62.
v Important: The Arabic space character code is $A0.

This is not the same as the Roman space character code,
which is $20. v
