Zot - go to :-

http://www.islamicpictures.com/images/velvet_catalog_5.jpg

It's a REALLY SMALL graphic, but the top part of it is the Arabic glyph
that represents the name "Allah" in written form.

The bottom bit is more than likely to be a passage from the Qu'ran (Koran)
but it does not need to accompany the main glyph.

There are a number of UNICODE fonts that cover the whole Arabic alphabet
but this is a kind of odd version of the Arabic language similar to that
found on Arabic typewriters.  The Arabic script suffers from a problem;
some of the "letters" represent names, whole words, or even phrases. The
grammatical system is entirely different from that of English.

And it's read and written from right to left.

Hows' about this for a challenging picture to make into an ASCII ?
