    // As part of the OLPC design, some changes were made to the Arabic
    // keyboard design. Major changes are:
    //
    //  * Removed the lam-alef single character. People type as they
    //    pronounce, and lam-alef is just a visual formatting of the
    //    sequence and is not often used on the keyboard. It is
    //    similar to the Allah single character, which is also not on
    //    the keyboard.
    //  * Moved the following keys:
    //     o Thal from TLDE to AB05: due to space limitation on the
    //       keyboard, but also accessibility.
    //     o Shadda from TLDE to AD05.
    //  * Placed currency letters on number keys and moved the ^ and &
    //    characters to lower keys. (This change is worth revisiting
    //    before end of test period).
