    I tried iphone os 3.0 beta 5 and it seems it supports Arabic, but when I tried with Safari not every Arabic letter is written correctly. For example: the word Bi’ar, because the letter ba has kasra, hamza will be written on top of ya without dots. I couldn’t write hamza, the only alif I could write is the standing alif. Do you know how to write the other forms of hamza? There is a bug as well related to kassra, dumma, fatha ….etc. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Karim
