Re: [xep-support] Another Arabic problem (diacritics)

Hi Peter,

I do not know Arabic but my translator says the words are splitted and I think
he mean the little diacritic waw is supposed to be above the Yeh and not as a
separate char.

I have asked my translator for a picture of the correct rendering and will
post that to this list as soon as I get it.

I have also tried different fonts and also in Windows since i use Linux. But
all my tests give the same result, a splitted word.

I have found another old post talking about diacritics:
http://services.renderx.com/lists/xep-support/1812.html
In this post it is suggested to use special characters. For example for
alef+hamza one should use &#x623. But I can not find any special character
for this combination.

Best Regards
Krister Wicksell
