Private Character Editor

[jalali]

Dear friends: I am doing transliteration work--taking
words from one alphabet (Arabic) and writing it into
another alphabet (Latin). The standard of way of doing
this is to use letters such as an "i" with a flat line
over it for one sound, an "s" with a dot under it for
another, etc. I can't figure out how to get these dots
under letters, or these flat lines over other letters. I
have gone to "character sets" but didn't find anything
useful. There was a reference to something
called "private character editor" But I couldn't figure
out what or where this is.
Can anyone help me figure out what I can do to put
these dots and lines under Latin letters? Thanks
Jalali
