Not sure what's special about a console keyboard, but if you are looking
for the key mappings here are a couple of references in passing (they
were the quickest things I could come across and I'm sure there are more
appropriate sources),

  http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/projects/external/vim/arabic_utf-8.vim
  http://qamoose.arabeyes.org

On the second link click on the little keyboard icon (I did notice that
the shift key doesn't work under Mozilla but is fine under IE - odd).

Hope that helps, else let us know and thanks for looking into all of
these things for completeness.

Salam.
