Diacritical marks

In the Arabic script, a diacritic or a diacritical mark is a glyph used to indicate consonant length or short vowels. A diacritical mark is placed above
or below the script. For better styling of text, or improved readability of certain fonts, you can control the vertical or horizontal position of diacritical
marks:
1. Select text that has diacritical marks
2. In the Character panel, modify the position of the diacritic marks relative to the script. Values you can change are, Adjust Horizontal Diacritic
Position, and the Adjust Vertical Diacritic Position.

Justification alternates

A font can provide alternative shapes for certain letters, typically for stylistic or calligraphy purposes. In rare cases, justification alternates are used
to justify and align paragraphs containing these shapes.
Justification alternates can be turned on at a character level, but only if a font supports this feature. At the bottom of the Character panel, select
Justification Alternates.
These Arabic fonts contain justification alternates: Adobe Arabic, Myriad Arabic, and Adobe Naskh.
These Hebrew fonts contain justification alternates: Adobe Hebrew and Myriad Hebrew.
