Comment:

 The current keyboard layout isn't working as expected.

 One thing is the brackets, with the current layout, right and left
 brackets doesn't match what the user would expect when typing from right
 to left. As the user will be reading the keys from right to left, what is
 now "braceright" will be interpreted as "braceleft" and so, simply we can
 solve this by reversing the keys with no change to the printed graphics on
 the keys.

 The other issue is the percent sign, the Arabic layout is using Arabic-
 Indic digits and thus should use Arabic percent sign, this will need
 printing it on the key.

 The attached patch fixes both issues.
