For my Ph.D. dissertation titled "Square Kufic Calligraphy in Modern Art, Transmission and Transformation" completed in 2010 at the University of
Washington
I have updated the Square Kufic chart as shown above. This is an expansion of the original chart published on this page as shown below.
In the new chart above, I also revised the size of the connections between the letters to be half a square each, so that when two letters are connected
there will be a connection that is only one square wide. In the older chart below, each connection was one square wide, and if two letters are connected
without overlapping the connections, a two square connection results. This breakes the rule to have the lines and spaces all of equal size.
NOTES:
1. Square Kufi, Like Early Kufi, is written without dots that distinguish between the letters that share the same glyph shape.
2. In the top line of this figure, Arabic letters are written from right to left, while their English equivalents are written from left to right.
3. For a complete listing of the alphabet please check here
