It would be quite nice, even desirable to retain diacritics

[HosAdeeb]

Hi there,
A few years ago, I needed to write a programme in JavaScript to output Arabic text as raw code to be incorporated in postscript documents, as lyrics below written music. For that purpose, preserving diacritics was essential.

I'm quite willing to share my code, or a detailed description of the algorithm. I'm rather new to Python, and only starting to get to know Tk. Hence, I'm finding it too intimidating to try and add the necessary code myself...

Best regards.
