Transliteration table


Most letters are obtained by typing the lower-case Latin equivalent followed by the corresponding capital letter: eg dD for Dal د and pP for Pe پ. The table lists exceptions to this rule and, where necessary, explanations. Note in particular -^h for He "jimi" ح and wW (a spare letter not used in Persian) for Shin ش .

The symbol " ^ " indicates that the AltGr key on the right of the space-bar must be held down as you type the following letter. To type several such letters consecutively, just keep the AltGr key pressed down as you type the other keys: eg for the Ezafeh after He, type [AltGr down]12345[AltGr up].
