Those code points reside in the Arabic block of the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). I determined this using BabelMap. There is an online version you can use as well.

Using the application you can convert between:

\u0628\u0627 \u0639\u0631\u0636 \u067E\u0648\u0632\u0634 \u062D\u0633\u0627\u0628 \u06A9\u0627\u0631\u0628\u0631\u06CC

and:

For programmatic tools look at the ICU Project.

@bizzare In the online version just enter any code point in the textbox next to the "Go To U+" button and then click the button and it will take you to the block where the character resides. – Robert Groves Apr 24 '12 at 05:46
@AdilSoomro Yes, I meant to have said that those code points reside on the Arabic block of the BMP. I'll edit to clarify. – Robert Groves Apr 24 '12 at 05:49
