The discussion can be seen here, but here are the diacritics and characters
provided to me:
Hindi:
First of all, the pairs with nuqta (a dot underneath) and without it should be
searchable the same way Roman letters with diacritics and without are
searchable.
* क़/क ख़/ख ग़/ग ज़/ज फ़/फ ड़/ड ढ़/ढ
The letters are not identical but So that if a user typed खून, ख़ून would also
be listed.
* Words containing diacritics ॉ (candra), ् (virama) should be equal to
those without them: चॉकलेट / चाकलेट, सन् / सन. Similar to the way English words
entries with a space are equal to those having a hyphen (-) between them.
----
Arabic:
* Different forms of alif: ا, أ, إ, ﺁ and ٱ should be searchable
together, e.g. أمس and امس, etc.
* Words containing any of these diacritics could be searchable as if they
don't have them and the other way around:
ـَ fatHa, ـِ kasra, ـُ Damma, ـْ sukuun, ـّ shadda, ـٰ dagger 'alif.
----
* ـٌ tanwiin al-Damm (تنوين الضم)
* ـٍ tanwiin al-kasr (تنوين الكسر)
* ـً tanwiin al-fatH (تنوين الفتح)

Persian often uses a zero-width nonjoiner (& # x200C;) as in ویکیپدیا. People
who don’t know how to access it tend to substitute a space: ویکی پدیا. It’s a
misspelling, but lots of people can’t help it.
In languages like Khmer and Thai that do not use word spaces, there is often a
zero-width space (& # x200B;) as in តើអ្នកនិយាយភាសាអង់គ្លេសទេ. More often
than not, it is simply left out (តើអ្នកនិយាយភាសាអង់គ្លេសទេ). Both spellings are
correct.
I think Anatoli neglected to mention the word-final Arabic pair ه/ة. The final
letter ة may be typed as ه.
