I agree. I really the Persian keyboard layout for the broad range of Unicode
Bidi control characters and the various keys it contains. The Arabic keyboard
layout should be improved again (New bug report?) based on the Persian layout.
I don't think those keys are even used, may be in the past when ligatures were
hard to input in typewriter. At least, we can make a new variant
named "typewriter" for Arabic along the other variants (Azerty, Querty, Indic
digits, Arabic digits).
