 ===== Shadda + Kasra ===== ===== Shadda + Kasra =====
-In most Arabic fonts, when Kasra is combined with Shadda, Kasra is displayed above the base line, just below the Shadda, which might cause it to be mistaken by Fatha. For example, in the following word  
  
-<div style="font-size:36px; font-family: Times New Roman; text-align:center; padding: 7px"> ذُرِّيَّة </div>+In most Arabic fonts, when Kasra is combined with Shadda, Kasra is displayed above the base line, just below the Shadda, which might cause it to be mistaken by Fatha. For example, in the word ''ذُرِّيَّة'' there is a Shadda+Kasra above Reh, while there is a Shadda+Fatha above Yeh. The distinguishing difference is that in the combination of Shadda+Fatha, Fatha is put above Shadda, while in Shadda+Kasra, Kasra is below Shadda. The same issue applies to the combination of Kasratan (tanween) + Shadda.

-<!--* Reverse the order of Shadda+Kasra to Kasra+Shadda. This might work for some fonts like Traditional Arabic. However, please note that this order reversion should be done on the fly (upon displaying the text), not in the quran text itself (see our [[Text License|terms of use]]).--> 
  
 ===== Superscript Alef ===== ===== Superscript Alef =====

 One of the oldest standards for Arabic encoding called "Arabic-1256" does not have any code-point for Superscript Alef which is necessary for representing a complete quran text. As a result, some older Arabic fonts do not include Superscript Alef by default. If your font has problem with Superscript Alef, you need to either change your font or update it to a newer version. One of the oldest standards for Arabic encoding called "Arabic-1256" does not have any code-point for Superscript Alef which is necessary for representing a complete quran text.
