.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This function returns the joining type of a character as defined in Table
8-2 Primary Arabic Joining Classes of the Unicode standard available at
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch08.pdf#G7462, using data
provided in file ArabicShaping.txt and UnicodeData.txt of the Unicode
Character Database available at
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/ArabicShaping.txt and
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt.

There are a few macros defined in fribidi-joining-types.h for querying a
joining type.
