It's different on different keyboard layouts and operating systems. This should clarify it up:

[edit: שׂ and שׁ. I press alt+S and alt+W, but I'm running a QWERTY-based phonetic Hebrew layout that comes on my MacBook,
plus it's on a Japanese keyboard, lol.
Even though in Hebrew, it would have been transliterated with a ס, I chose ש because that's were the arabic س originally came from. As you can see in the chart, it's on the same level with ס, but is still purple. Though, I guess it could be used as well because arabic doesn't have a letter ס could represent otherwise.
I've actually been working on an English one too, which is going better than I thought it would, but I'm still having complications. The letters F, V, U, W, and Y all come from the same origin, and it's kind of annoying to represent them all with ו in some way. When I'm finished, I'll post it on here! :shade:
I'll make an arabic version too- which will look all jumbled to me because I'll want to just phonetically spell things out in Arabic because I know some.
I do this quite often, using Greek and Cyrillic letters instead.
Woodrow, that Aramaic alphabet was basically the same as that of Hebrew, so if there were a Hebrew one, then you could just change the letters appearance to that of Aramaic. Plus, I can't really type those. :hmm:
Anyways, still working on it! If anyone else can come up with suggestions or some other systems, I'd be more than interested! :statisfie
