Here are the options with Arabic on top. I made two versions, one with the "Ju" sound, and one with the "J" sound. Take a look at the source code for the SVG files (julia-i18n-ju.svg <http://imgh.us/julia-i18n-ju.svg>, julia-i18n-j.svg <http://imgh.us/julia-i18n-ju.svg>) for more details :)
Let me know which one you like best. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k4UIPOAFQGA/V_T_FEj5WjI/AAAAAAAB5bc/_MnEDFuJCWAtTt_9GpjpkZmUq18PdCOsACLcB/s1600/Screenshot%2B2016-10-05%2B14.20.15.png> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OpEpz7S-Dnc/V_T_Qw1EuFI/AAAAAAAB5bg/1bXbUpoz0P0GjJkvCiQiJwW8PIWA5QPvQCLcB/s1600/Screenshot%2B2016-10-05%2B14.20.32.png> On Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 11:42:03 AM UTC+1, Waldir Pimenta wrote: > > Thanks for all the feedback!
