Dear Colleagues
Our libraries are now nearing migration from an old ASCII based system
(ALEPH-300) to a unicode based one (ALEPH 500-14.2).
Hebrew, Arabic and Russian seem to convert ok and display properly
with IE version 5.
However, our old system had squeezed in three additional characters along
with the basic Arabic. We believe these are converting properly in the
database but IE may be only displaying the basic Arabic characters and not
the "Extended Arabic letters" (0671+)
Specifically, the characters we need which do not display are:
06A4, 06C0 and 06A8
Does anyone have knowledge of a limitation in IE regarding "Extended
Arabic" - and is it possible to remedy this?
Thanks
Elhanan
