Re: Questions about yeh, hamzah on yeh, alef maksura and dotless ba

[Meor Ridzuan Meor Yahaya <meor dot ridzuan at gmail dot com>]

Dear all,
When I open up my mail this morning, I see the total number of mail is
52 under this topic, so very long read indeed.

Anyway, I would suggest to keep focus on the topic, please. It will be
difficult to keep track the discussion, and to conclude our dicsussion
this way. If necessary, start a new thread.

Ok, about yeh with hamza. It seems that the hamza with a yeh chair and
the one without the chair is the same. Please refer to
http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Text/Scribal/haleem.html .
Under certain condition, the hamzah loses it's chair.

So, to me seems logical to use the same code for the 2 shapes of
hamza. In my text, one in encoded as 649 + hamza above/below and the
other is 640 (tatweel) + hamza above/below. Most people dislike the
tatweel, I can see why, but that is the most easiest and straight
forward solution the way I see it. Suggestions are welcome. However,
modifying 621 to have a different behaviour does not seems to be a
good choice, I think.

Regards.
