The presentation forms for the basic Arabic letters are encoded for
the sake of backward compatibility only. Other letters will not receive
such redundant encodings. The 0600 block does not encode independent
forms; rather, these codings (which are preferred) are for the abstract
letters independent of positional considerations.
