The Unicode Standard 3.0 has notes on several characters in Extended 
Arabic (U+0671-U+06D3) saying that they are for Old Malay. I don't 
know whether they are the ones you are asking for, or whether there 
may be others. Here are their code points and names.
 
06A0 ARABIC LETTER AIN WITH THREE DOTS ABOVE
06AC ARABIC LETTER KAF WITH DOT ABOVE
06AD ARABIC LETTER NG
06BD ARABIC LETTER NOON WITH THREE DOTS ABOVE
06D1 ARABIC LETTER YEH WITH THREE DOTS BELOW

Please check the "Where is my character?" page on the Unicode site at 
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/where/ 
and the Arabic code block at 
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf, which shows 
representative glyphs for each assigned code point.
