HI,

What is the method for defining shapes on Unicode charts? I think the isolated shapes should be shown on Unicode charts? The question is what should be the representing shape of ARABIC LETTER HEH (U0647)? as on http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf and page#618 of "The Unicode Standard 5" by the Unicode consortium.

The shape shown on Unicode charts is not the isolated form. The contextual/positional forms of ARABIC LETTER HEH (U0647) are shown in attached. It is suggested to change the existing shape of U0647 on Unicode charts with its isolated form.

There should also be a small description about this letter as given for U0649. "The initial and medial shapes of ARABIC LETTER HEH (U0647) assume shapes similar to initial and medial shapes of U06BE".

Similarly the code points U06C1, U06C2 and U06C3 are represented by their final forms. These should also be replaced with their isolated forms as shown in attached.
