Why don't you use Java's native capabilities in order to determine if a 
character is arabic or not ?

See, for example :
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0645/index.htm
http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.lang/FindUnicodeBlock.html
and
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Character.UnicodeBlock.html

I will review your patch tonight however.
