It could just be that the term "hamza" was a glottal stop character (at least according to www.m-w.com). In Hawaiian we call it an 'okina, and the character used to represent it looks very much like an opening single quote. I looked around at the unicode home page at the arabic characters, and unfortunately none of them fit the bill for what I need. *sigh*
However, since I can't get Finale to print any of these characters this is all somewhat moot right now. At 12:12 PM 3/11/2003 -0800, Mark D.
