The windows-1256 encoding has the usual Latin (English,
etc.) alphabet in upper and lowercase for the usual
ASCII-code values, then has arabic script glyphs for a
number of the higher codes.

Here's a translation table:

And here's the table for iso-8859-1 (windows-28591),
the default for standard webpages:

The first 128 codes are identical in the two tables.
Most of the latter 128 are not, but a few are.
