Hello Soobok,

Glyphs in Arabic are not isolated. The hyphen would be isolated,
but tatweel/kashida is always connected. The hyphen would be higher
than both tatweel and Arabic full stop (used in Urdu).

So rather than just looking at the glyph charts, please get an
understanding of how Arabic formatting works before trying to
comment on it.
