Is it normative that the Arabic script glyph shown
in the code chart is the isol form only?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to replace nya1 by nya2 or even nya3
instead of only having this text in the
The Unicode Standard 5.0 – Electronic edition?
Jawi. U+06BD arabic letter noon with three dots above is used for Jawi,
which is Malay written using the Arabic script. Malay users know the
character as Jawi Nya. Contrary to what is suggested by its Unicode
character name, U+06BD displays with the three dots below the letter
when it is in the initial or medial position. This is done to avoid
confusion with U+062B arabic letter theh, which appears in words of
Arabic origin, and which has the same base letter shapes in initial
or medial position, but with three dots above in all positions. p.281
