    // This OLPC layout comprises the following changes in comparison to the default Arabic one:
    //  ‣ Arabic and European digits are swapped (which entails swapping of the percent and permille signs).
    //  ‣ Lām-ʾalif is eliminated. People type as they pronounce, and lam-alef is just a visual formatting of the
    //    sequence and thus arguably not used on the keyboard. This frees four slots which are used for the following three changes.
    //  ‣ The <TLDE> characters move:
    //     • Thal from <TLDE> to <AB05>
    //     • Shadda from <TLDE> to <AD05>
    //  ‣ £ and € obtain the <AE06> and <AE07> keys, the ^ and & signs previously occupying them take seat at <AB05> and <AC05>.
    //  ‣ The <TLDE> key gets grave ` and asciitilde ~ as on English keyboards.
    //  ‣ In sum the grave and asciitilde are present twice, as their erstwhile places are not removed.
    //  ‣ The braces }{ take the place of the less-than and greater-than >< signs,
    //    but these the place of kasra and kasratan which establish themselves in the braces’ former steads.
    //  ‣ The … character on <BKSL> is replaced by |, because OLPC laptops have no <LSGT> key installed where the bar is else placed.
