Another nice program to use that shows Unicode codepoints
automatically as you edit is UniPad: http://www.unipad.org/main/
And I also realized that there is another, graphical method to
edit/verify the underlying text data. That is for Meor to create a
"proofreading" font by copying his Quranic font and changing the mapping
tables to make the mapping transparent. I.e., so that each visible mark
is produced by exactly one codepoint in the underlying textual data.
Then, for example, if you see a low small meem in the rendered display,
you know that it corresponds to exactly one <low small meem> in the text
stream. Conversely, every <low small meem> in the text stream produces
exactly one low small meem glyph and nothing else.
A proofreading version of the font might make for a somewhat ugly
display, but for proofreading purposes that is ok. Once the text is
certified, one would use the fancy font to get proper rendering.
