In Arabic and Persian languages, some vowels are not regularly written, unless there is a need to clarify the pronunciation of a word. An example of such a need is when the title of a page is a loanword. Some wikis (e.g. Persian Wikipedia) prefer to keep those vowels out of the page title (to increase the chances of page being located through web searches) but still would like the page title to have the harakats. A typical solution will be to allow this to be used with DISPLAYTITLE. The mostly used harakats (which are common in the two languages) are: ِ ُ َ

Good start; however, as I can see it, the range you've specified is too large. Also, other chars like "tashdid" ّ should be taken care of.ٔ

These should be supported: ٔ ٍ ً ْ ّ ِ ُ َ That is, harakats, tanwins, shadda and sokun (saken?).

Thank you Ahmad. Your patch is applied with r47755.
This patch doesn't add anything to displaytitle, but rather strips things from actual titles which are currently permitted in them. Reverted in r48805
WONTFIX per the discussion in r47755.
