[Bug 1154649] Re: character map application doesn't include Arabic damma, kasra, fatha, or sukkun. Thesevocalic markings don't occur in all text, but they are FAR more common than many of the calligraphic annotations which are included.

 

This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so
does not expect a backport

Title:
  character map application doesn't include Arabic damma, kasra, fatha,
  or sukkun.  Thesevocalic markings don't occur in all text, but they
  are FAR more common than many of the calligraphic annotations which
  are included.

Bug description:
  Arabic vowels are not included in the character map.  There is a hole
  in the presented characters between U+064A, Arabic YEH and U+656
  subscript Alif.   (Subscript Alif?  yes, it should be in the character
  map.   I've never met one in the wild.)

  fatha, damma, kasra, sukkun, tashdid, all the nunation characters, are
  missing.
