Note:
Our choices of letters are based on Saïd Akl's 'Lebanese Alphabet', and the most common Unicode character options available in popular typographies (fonts). We recommend using an 'Extended US Keyboard' (Mac OS X) on a desktop computer. Hold down [Option] and [Shift]+[Option] to type these characters. The keys that show orange are diacritics, allowing for characters like 'â', 'ş', 'ý', etc.
