@liztai I think that some letters will have to be invented. But there is a precedence of adding 6 letters to Jawi script that aren't present in the Arabic alphabet.

Diacritic marks do exist for Arabic, but are not used in Jawi. It might work to indicate tones.

I think I have put too much thought into this.

@ubi @liztai I was sure Arabic scripts have been adapted for Sinitic languages before, and when I looked it up I found this.
