Remember that accents are different from HARAKATs. An A character with caron is quite different from A, so when you push backspace after the combination, you wish that the A with the caron is deleted. But when you put a FATHE after a SHIN, they are two different characters, and SHIN is the same in both a single SHIN, and a SHIN with FATHE above. When pushing backspace, you expect that the FATHE is deleted, but not the SHEEN... Just for the record, I oppose any deadkey mechanism for any Arabic script keyboard layout. The notion is rather complicated, and is only familiar to the Europeans. Asian people are used to live keys instead, the ones that appear after the letter. roozbeh -- Behdad Esfahbod 24 Khordad 1382, 2003 Jun 14 http://behdad.org/ [Finger for Geek Code] In the corner of the dream was the man with the blue guitar It had no strings but the music touched the stars ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

Remember that accents are different from HARAKATs. We only discussed combining symbols (hamza madda), not short vowels. Peter ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

I may help you with information from ALA-LC (American Library Association/Library of Congress) containing exact lists of characters, alongside with standard transliterations, for all languages you are interested in.
