This sections now says:
<quote>
3.5.2. Write Arabic Filenames
 As of the writing of this document it is only possible to name files in 
Arabic via an application or a GUI filemanager. The shells (even bash which 
supports UTF-8 does not allow for Arabic input on its prompt.

What's wrong in writing Arabic file names?

The steps are:
1. cover your eyes with a ribbon.
2. touch عربي

with some modifications in Bicon, there won't be a need to cover your eyes ;)
