I actually know nothing of Hebrew and Arabic alphabets, except that using some of the characters as Windows user account names works and some of them don't. ^^; Originally, we were trying to test the issue with Chinese characters, and while one of the guys was running in the Chinese native Windows OS, I decided to play around with some other non-ASCII characters in English Windows using the Character Map just to see what happened, and it just happened to be that the ones I chose at random came from those character sets. It's highly likely that other non-ASCII characters besides the Hebrew and Arabic alphabets exhibit the same issue. For example, I also know that Ā ("Latin Capital Letter A With Macron" according to the Character Map) is one of the ones that mostly sort of works.
