| dc.description.abstract | For a human language to reach its full potential in cyberspace, platform
and browser independent support for data entry and display are required.
Arabic web applications are far from this state of ubiquitous support.
Full support is available only under Arabic Windows, while little support
is provided under other versions of Windows, and no support at all under
UNIX systems .The Nuun toolkit addresses this challenge. Nuun uses an
allographic encoding in which each letter form is encoded separately to
provide an Arabic display capability in any web browser on any platform.
The display capabilities are augmented with an input method that provides
the necessary extensions to HTML forms to handle Arabic script. Nuun tools can be used to build interfaces for new or existing web applications that
use any Arabic encoding, and can support any language based on the Arabic
script (e.g., Persian, Urdu, or Kurdish).
