Not a criticism nor an answer to your question but just curiosity and 
education: how would you use it?

Sure, you could edit "user" files that were in Arabic characters, but all of 
"basic" MVS (JCL, SYS1.PARMLIB, etc.) is all US-oriented EBCDIC, right? (Other 
than, say, the programmer name field in the JOB statement and so forth.)

Arabic generally reads right to left, correct? That's an added complication as 
I am sure you and emulator writers know. (There are several other complications 
that I am sure you are aware of, and that are too complex, and I am too much of 
an amateur on, to mention.)
