Display Arabic text as separate characters (instead of cursive script) using CSS

To display license plates in Arabic, I wish to have each letter displayed without joining adjacent characters.

Is it possible to display Arabic text as separate characters, without the cursive script?

There are unique isolated Arabic UTF-8 characters just for this type of purpose.

It's all explained in this Wikipedia page.

(sorry, it pasted in as a bit of a mess)

A demonstration for the basic alphabet used in Modern Standard Arabic:
