Based on my review of the Unicode standard, there are some Unicode
characters for which I cannot find any glyph mappings, especially for
the Pashto language since it uses many unique character glyphs.

For the Windows CE device to properly display the Arabic characters, I
have used and supplemented some code that I was pointed to by
Microsoft. However, that code contained a very limited Arabic
character set. I have supplemented this significantly to increase
coverage, but there are still some for which I cannot find the glyphs.

The below is an example of the glyph mapping for the letter SEEN
(Unicode character 0633).

{0x633, 0xFEB3, 0xFEB4, 0xFEB2, 0xFEB1}

1st Hex set: The Unicode Character
2nd Hex Set: the Initial Glyph
3rd Hex Set: the Medial Glyph
4th Hex Set: the End Glyph
5th Hex Set: the Isolated Glyph


Those that I cannot find that relate to Pashto are listed below. Any
help you can provide in mapping these is greatly appreciated!!!!

 {0x067c, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x0681, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x0682, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x0685, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x0689, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x0693, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x0696, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x069a, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x06ab, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x06bc, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}
 {0x06cd, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xFE}

I believe the document below may have some of the information you are
seeking (but I'm pretty new to glyphs and character mapping and the
like -- I'm learning on the fly, actually -- so I'm not 100% certain):


Arabic Range: 0600­06FF 
 
kurdweb.humanrights.de/kval/english/ alphabet/Unicod-Arabic.pdf 


However, not all the characters seem to have the initial, medial, end
and isolated mapping you are looking for -- I can't tell if this is a
shortcoming of the character set itself, or if all the forms are not
required for each character.  You'll have to be the judge on that
front.

Anyway, have a look, and let me know what you think.  If this is NOT
what you are seeking, any additional explanation as to why this falls
short would be a help to researchers in finding you the best
information possible.

Thanks.

We posted exactly what we need.  To earn the fee you must provide the
answer or the mapping.  We solved all issues for all the other glyphs
except for the missing glyphs.  The researcher needs to find those
particular glyphs we are looking for.  Just a Google search won't do.

Understood.

If anything turns up, I'll let you know.
