Type Arabic transliteration characters with buttons or shortcuts, then copy them into your document or e-mail.
Type faster with Ctrl shortcuts. For example: each press of Ctrl+H steps through ḥ → ḫ. Point at a button to see its shortcut.
Using these characters
ʾ ʿ ḥ ṣ ā
ʾ, ʿ, ḥ, ṣ and ā differ from ordinary apostrophes or plain Latin letters. Arabic transliteration has multiple systems; follow the source's required letters and long-vowel notation.
