As with so many of the early Unicode code blocks, Arabic overflowed its original allocation, and so a supplemental block was added in Unicode 4.1.

The supplemental characters are primarily for the languages used in Northern and Western Africa, such as Fulfulde, Hausa, Songhoy and Wolof. In the second half of the twentieth century, the use of the Arabic script was actively promoted for these languages.

See also the code blocks Arabic, Arabic Presentation Forms A and Arabic Presentation Forms B.

Unicode's Arabic Supplement code block reserves the 48 code points from U+0750 to U+077F, of which all 48 are currently assigned.

Syriac <-- Arabic Supplement --> Thaana

Number of characters added in each version of the Unicode standard :
Unicode 4.1 : 30
Unicode 5.1 : 18

All the characters in this code block are in general category Letter, Other Lo

All the characters in this code block are in bidirectional category Right To Left Arabic AL

The columns below should be interpreted as :

  1. The Unicode code for the character
  2. The character in question
  3. The Unicode name for the character
  4. The Unicode version when this character was added

If the characters below show up poorly, or not at all, see Unicode Support for possible solutions.
