In this video, you will explore the different features of the Arabic language. First, we will add an Arabic Keyboard and start typing Arabic. Switch to right-to-left display and examine some Arabic character shaping characteristics, in addition to ligatures, kashida, diacritics and Arabic numerals. Short video and filled with demos.
For your reference, this is a table of the characters used in my demo:
| Arabic String | English Keyboard equivalent | Remarks |
| ا ااا | h hhh | The character “alef”, isolated, initial, middle and final forms |
| ث ثثث | e eee | The character “thaa”, isolated, initial, middle and final forms |
| ه ههه | i iii | The character “Haa”, isolated, initial, middle and final forms |
| لا | gh | Ligature character, “Lam” + “Alef” |
| ًُ | WE | Diacritics |
| ـــــــ | J | Kashida , or Tatweel character |
