[sword-devel] testing for diacritics

[David Haslam]

Devocalize = Strip the diacritics from "Arabic with harakat" is not such a
simple Unicode conversion.

i.e. One doesn't just have to remove diacritic characters from the encoded
text!
Rather to replace individual characters with harakat by characters without
them.

For an online utility see http://www.harakat.ae/

فِي الْبَدْءِ خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ،
becomes
في البدء خلق الله السماوات والأرض، 


David
