is_arabic

fn def is_arabic(cp: Int) -> Bool

Whether cp belongs to one of the Arabic blocks – what selects the arab OpenType script for a run, and so the joining features. The presentation-form blocks are included because a font tags their ccmp and ligature lookups arab too, even though the characters themselves take no contextual form.

Args:

• cp (Int): A Unicode codepoint.

Returns:

Bool: True for Arabic, Arabic Supplement, Arabic Extended-A/B and the two Arabic presentation-form blocks.
