Arabic Extended-C Unicode Characters page 1

The Arabic Extended-C block adds characters that supplement the basic Arabic script, which is one of the most widely used writing systems in the world. Arabic script is used not only for writing the Arabic language but also for many other languages across Africa and Asia, including Persian, Urdu, Pashto, and others. The Extended-C block includes additional characters that are necessary for writing minority languages and dialects that use the Arabic script. These additions are critical for ensuring that all languages using the Arabic script can be accurately represented in digital form. This is particularly important for the preservation of minority languages, many of which are under threat of extinction. By including these characters in Unicode, the Arabic Extended-C block helps to ensure that these languages can continue to be written and shared in the digital age..
