Lam-Alif and ISO-8859-6

[koray <nixstore at gmail dot com>]

Hi all,

We are working on a project about converting IBM EBCDIC 420 - Arabic to 
ISO-8859-6 Arabic. We use iconv utility to convert the charset.But after 
conversion we cannot see the Lam-Alif character on linux systems 
(suse,redhat,debian etc.).I've read various documents and saw that 
Lam-Alif character doesnt exist in ISO-8859-6.  So, i want to ask you, 
how did you see,use,print etc. the Lam-Alif character on Linux systems 
before UTF-8? I need your advices.( By the way, there is no problem with 
utf-8 but we have to convert to iso-8859-6 )

Regards,
Koray Kusat
