According to Microsoft and ICU, arabic is aliased to codepage iso-8859-6. Codepage 1256 is a platform specific codepage. The codepage iso-8859-6 is not a platform specific codepage. We like to keep ICU platform neutral. Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/Author/dhtml/reference/charsets/charset4.asp for Microsoft's alias scheme. Because of this, your bug will be returned.

Add/Change #801 (Arabic codepage is incorrect.)
