Apparently there is no standard set of character entities for Arabic
(someone please correct me if this is wrong).  ISO8859-6 details the
ASCII codes for Arabic script, but does not specify entity names.  There
is a WWW browser for Arabic and Farsi, called PMosaic.  More info on
this can be found at:
 
<URL http://www.gpg.com/pmosaic/docs/pmosaic-faq.html>
 
There is an FTP site with the other ISO8859 character entity sets,
including those for math and chemical symbols:
 
<URL ftp://www.ucc.ie/pub/sgml/>
 
Finally good jumping-off points for SGML info are either Robin
Cover's page at
 
<URL http://www.sil.org/sgml/sgml.html>
 
or the collection of links to SGML sites at
 
<URL http://www.indiana.edu/~letrs/related-links/index.html#sgml>
