<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I wonder if you can use a standard Windows
Unicode keyboard in Toolbox if you need special Arabic-based characters
(characters not found in the normal Arabic alphabet). For instance, some
minority languages written in an Arabic-based script might need a gaf (</span></font><font
size=5 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL style='font-size:16.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:navy'></span></font><span dir=LTR></span><font size=2
color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;
color:navy'><span dir=LTR></span>) or a za with three dots over it (</span></font><font
size=5 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL style='font-size:16.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:navy'></span></font><span dir=LTR></span><font size=2
color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;
color:navy'><span dir=LTR></span>). These cannot be typed in using regular
strokes on the Arabic keyboard. You have to use ALT+NUM keys or a macro or
something like that. Is there any way you can check on that? Looking at the
Arabic Extended subset of characters, the gaf is ALT+0144 (Unicode 06AF) and
the za with three dots is ALT+0142 (Unicode 0698). Can these be entered
straight into Toolbox without a special keyboard?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
