Interesting they used Arabic for this example - I grew up learning it at school but it’s only recently that smartphone keyboards are good enough to implement abjad. Most of the time you used to just switch to arabizi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_chat_alphabet

Writing in Arabic is really fun as well, calligraphy is appreciated.
