  • "Also is the last letter an 'l'?" No, it is an "i" whose dot is replaced with a macron (i.e. straight line above) ;-)

Find a font that has the glyph (Gentium, Linux Libertine, Times New Roman, Brill, etc.). The default Computer Modern version also works with fontspec.



Compile with xelatex or lualatex:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Gentium}


begin{document}

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī?

Yes, Mud{h}ammad ibn M={u}s={a} al-Khw={a}rizm={i}!

end{document}


enter image description here



You may be able to set up shortcuts in your editor if you're writing a lot of those diacritics.



If you want the same font as your example (Charis SIL):



setmainfont{Charis Sil}


enter image description here

    why use ascii accent input, isn't it simpler just to use the text as in the question title?

    – David Carlisle
    Feb 23 at 14:42











  • @TertulianoMáximoAfonso, I mean, just compile with xelatex then. As David said, no need for special ascii input. I just used it as an example.

Here it is:



enter image description here



documentclass{report}
begin{document}
Mud{h}ammad ibn M={u}s={a} al-Khw={a}rizm={i}

The last letter is a dotless i (produce by i) with bar above it.

arabluatex is also able to typeset Arabic proper names:



documentclass{article}

usepackage{arabluatex}

begin{document}

SetTranslitConvention{dmg}
prname{mu.hammad ibn mUs_A| al-_hwArizmiyy}

SetTranslitConvention{arabica}
