I meant the typewriter "i" Larry Send a noteboard - 29/12/2011 04:53:46 PM
Try learning the alphabet. It looks like you're trying to type in Persian based on learning the words in Latin and not realizing that the rendering is doing something odd.

The thing you're typing there is a ya-hamza or something. An "i" in medial position should be like a "t" in medial position, the thing that comes EXACTLY after it, but with the two dots UNDERNEATH, rather than above. And that's not the way you're supposed to spell the word, anyway.


I know it's a different letter in Persian, which is why I'm trying to figure out the issue, so ye-hamze. And yeah, I should check the spelling again, when I somehow changed the "e." Oh well. It's better to screw this up now and have the noted before I start truly writing in it. So "ketâb" if I wanted it in Latin, and then fool around with the layout later to realize how to place correctly the symbols.

Was that supposed to be kitab? You wrote n, not i, for the second consonant. *NM* - 29/12/2011 04:32:39 PM 249 Views

"I" doesn't look like that in a medial position, Larry. - 29/12/2011 04:47:04 PM 650 Views

Frankly, the rest of it looks garbled, too *NM* - 29/12/2011 04:44:16 PM 257 Views
Yeah, you're not supposed to type the i, hence that hamza that you get. - 29/12/2011 07:07:14 PM 724 Views

Wouldn't that just make it harder to spell right? - 30/12/2011 07:51:06 PM 660 Views
