8All ISO 8859-x Character Encodings have some things in common:
9
10Code points 00-7F are identical to code points 00-7F in ISO 646 (IRV).
11Code points 80-9F are undefined.
12
13Apparently Unicode seems to think otherwise since in their ISO 8859-6
14table the code points 30-39 are mapped to ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT instead
15of plain DIGIT. I assume this is an error.

59Also known as ASMO 449.

61This set of graphic character is intended for use in information
62interchange as well as in data and text processing applications where both
63the Arabic and the Latin scripts are used.
64
65The following code points are undefined in addition to 80-9F:
66A1-A3, A5-AB, AE-BA, BC-BE, C0, DB-DF, F3-FF
67
68Unicode mappings indicate that code points 30-39 are not DIGIT but
69ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT which I somehow doubt since it would be the only
70ISO 8859-x encoding that is not 100% ISO 646.IRV compatible.

76Also known as ELOT-928.
77
78This set is suited for multiple-language applications involving the Latin
79and the Greek scripts. It allows handling of data and text expressed in
80Greek.
81
82The following code points are undefined in addition to 80-9F:
83A4-A5, AA, AE, D2, FF
84
85Unicode mappings differ at two code points: A1, A2
86I believe Unicode is in error here.

96The following code points are undefined in addition to 80-9F:
97A1, BF-DE, FB-FF

99Unicode mappings have a wrong code for code point AF. Must be MACRON.
