This is a curious turn. Tanween has always been expressed by reduplication of the vowel marks. Keeping it intact therefore means 1. identifying vowel marks as graphemes and 2. identifying tanween as a reduplication of existing vowel graphemes. The present Unicode solution with single, unique codes for nunated vowels is a conceptual mistake: the codes now represent the glyphs for nunation, not the abstract graphemes. As a result search actions based on case endings (like yawmu-n / al-yawmu) are frustrated. Regards, t
