OK, guys. Here I expose *my* transliteration scheme for Arabic script.

"Arabo-Romance". Save it for your convenience! The character names are
given according to the Unicode chart.

initial alef with hamza -- ; (NOT ';)
alef with maddah -- A
beh -- b
teh -- t
teh marbuta -- t:
theh -- T
jeem -- j
hah -- H
khah -- x
dal -- d
thal -- D
reh -- r
zain -- z
seen -- s
sheen -- S
sad -- s`
dad -- d`
tah -- t`
zah -- z`
ain -- E
ghain -- G
feh -- f
qaf -- q
kaf -- k
lam -- l
meem -- m
noon -- n
heh -- h
waw -- w
alef maksura -- e

damma -- u
shadda -- double letter
sukun -- no special sign

Additional letters:
peh -- p

With deep respects,
Yitzik
