Break down an Arabic word

Enter an Arabic word. You will see the form each letter takes in its position — and where the word breaks open because a non-connector stands there.

Example: مدينة — city

مـMim at the startm as in moon
ـدDal at the endd as in doordoes not connect to the left
يـYa at the starty as in yes, or long i
ـنـNun in the middlen as in nose
ـةTa marbuta at the endonly at the end of a word, usually a feminine endingdoes not connect to the left

The word breaks open after د because Dal does not connect to the left. That gap is exactly what many take for a mistake.
