    You may add the missing Arabic characters encoded in plane 1:

    • Arabic Extended-C (10EC0-10EFF)
    • Arabic Mathematical Symbols (1EE00-1EEFF), and
    • Rumi Numeral Symbols (10E60-10E7F)

    Thank you Philippe! I use Microsoft VOLT and that does not support five hex digit code. I struggled for some time and didn't want to loose my work. Finally I am able to use VOLT project without VOLT application and still add 5 digit codes!
    I have finally added Arabic Extended C so far in version 9.0. My first goal is to support all Quran orthographies supported by Unicode.
    So far Arabic Mathematical Symbols and Rumi Numeral Symbols are not in my to-do list. But I'll try.
    Thanks
