Frequently asked questions
Why can some tatweel remain?
A tatweel followed by a combining mark may carry that mark, sometimes with a joiner between them. It stays beside the mark to avoid moving it to another character. You can copy the partial preview, but it is not counted as a completed conversion.
Does it remove vowel marks?
No. Use Remove Arabic Harakat if you want to remove the standard vowel marks.
