Hello.
Does anyone know how to add custom symbols on Anki? Is it possible with some plugin or something? Just that. Thank you in advanced! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

What kind of custom symbols do you want? I thought it was possible to enter just about any character, as long as you have it on the keyboard or know the Alt code.

How do I know the Alt codes? I'm working through a book on spoken Arabic using
transliteration and I'd like to enter marked long vowels (ā, ē, ī..) and other characters without having to copy and paste. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Shadad - if you switch your keyboard to "international English" then you can do most of
the accented letters. Windows has a "language bar" you can click on to make it easy to switch between different alphabets. But most Arabic translit methods I've seen use symbols that I can't find codes or keys for anywhere. It gets frustrating. Google "Arabic chat alphabet" for the way people get around it using just English characters and numbers. Edited by kanewai on 02 October 2011 at 6:49am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'd also second kanewai's suggestion. If you don't like the Arabic chat alphabet or aren't familiar with it, you could simply capitalize all emphatic consonants and write long vowels twice.
E.g. نحن = naHnu, صديق = Sadiiq etc. If you're a perfectionist, you could also create your own custom keyboard layout with the free MS Keyboard Layout Creator and enter transliterated characters directly into Anki. 1 person has voted this message useful |
