Jawi is basically Arabic script it just has a few extra glyphs to handle phonemes that don't exist in standard Arabic. For example /p/ or /ng/ (velar nasal).
Anybody who can read the Quran and speak Malay can also read Jawi with minimal effort, which is most of population of the Malay archipelago.
A similar but distinct script was used for languages of Indonesia, e.g. Javanese and Sundanese.
