There seems to be a lot of crossover between the Qalam and Unicode lists
today.

Dear Arabist's,

Does someone please know about a recent survey or
study about character encoding systems that are used
for Arabic Web sites (over the world) ?

If possible I would like to collect a kind of "classification"
with some correct and precise numbers and percentages
between the various used encoding systems
(ASMO, DOS, ISO-6, CP1256, Unicode, ...).

Important:
If possible I also would like to know the percentage of
Arabic Web pages that are composed of scanned texts (GIFs).

I promise to share this information with you.
I know it is useful for most of us.

Shukran in advance.
Malek Boualem
