I don't think so, but maybe.

Seems too short, Bob. I come up with 48 different symbols when I press
Insert + 4. Using XP Pro, JAWS 12 Professional.

Are there perhaps some other constants in other headers?

I can do better than that.
I'll post the actual code below.

To my mind, this type of coding is short sighted and very restrictive.

Anyway, off the soap box: here's the code. References found in default.jss.
-----
VKeyboard.jss (the script)
include "hjconst.jsh"
include "hjglobal.jsh"
include "common.jsm"
include"VKeyboard.jsm"


Script VKSelect ()
var
int iIndex,;For position in list
string strTemp,
string strListText
Let strListText = description+LIST_ITEM_SEPARATOR+
description1+LIST_ITEM_SEPARATOR+
description2+LIST_ITEM_SEPARATOR+
description3+LIST_ITEM_SEPARATOR
if ! strListText then
return
EndIf
Let strListText = (stringChopRight (strListText, 1))
; now post the dialog
Let iIndex = dlgSelectItemInList (strListText, DLG_VKEYBOARD, true)
If iIndex <= 0 then
return
EndIf
let strTemp = (StringSegment (symbol, LIST_ITEM_SEPARATOR, iIndex))
;TypeString (strTemp)
CopyToClipboard (strTemp)
TypeKey (cksPaste)
EndScript

Well Georges the verdict is in: and it isn't hopeful.

I finally tracked down the script and all those symbols are hard coded
in. So they can't be easily changed.

Guessing conservatively, I'd say it would take you a couple of weeks to
plug in the Arabic alphabet. <lol>

Hi folks!
Maybe most of us here know that when pressing insert+4 we get a list
currently comprised of 48 symbols. Say I want to add the complete arabic
alphabet to this list, is that possible and how? Thanks.
