// ‣ Lām-ʾalif is eliminated. People type as they pronounce, and lam-alef is just a visual formatting of the
// sequence and thus arguably not used on the keyboard. This frees four slots which are used for the following three changes.
// ‣ The characters move:
// • Thal from to
// • Shadda from to
// ‣ £ and € obtain the and keys, the ^ and & signs previously occupying them take seat at and .
// ‣ The key gets grave ` and asciitilde ~ as on English keyboards.
// ‣ In sum the grave and asciitilde are present twice, as their erstwhile places are not removed.
// ‣ The braces }{ take the place of the less-than and greater-than >< signs,
// but these the place of kasra and kasratan which establish themselves in the braces’ former steads.
// ‣ The … character on is replaced by |, because OLPC laptops have no key installed where the bar is else placed.
