The second section is some of the mid and final letters supported by the font. Some characters are missing which are not supported by unicode. The third section is the Nabatean numbers, fourth section is uppercase Greek, Latin and then punctuation. Usually, this is enough to do most Nabataean coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabataean_alphabet" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabataean_alphabet" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabataean_alphabet</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My goal continues to transliterate as many coins as I can for detailed IDs that I like. I have a few others that I&#039;m considering supporting after I work out some more issues by the current keyboards. Like Phags-pa which is a script which had limited use in Asia, in Mongolia. This script was not originally called Phags-Pa but was created by this Tibetan monk and named after him later on, originally called square script by some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
