> 3. In general, the letter combination ال should be common. The combination ل ا cannot occur in Arabic script, as those characters should be connected. Funny enough, Rami is Egyptian/Dutch and ل ا looks a bit like IJ/ij, which is a digraph in Dutch that even used to have its own codepoint once upon a time. A digraph for which two existing letters in the ASCII code already worked perfectly had a code-point, and I'd argue that even historically almost no Dutch person has ever even used it because keyboards with it barely existed. The only place where you might find an IJ key is on ancient electronic typewriters, and the only reason I know is because I had touch typing lessons on one thirty years ago and the teacher made us use them, after which I had to unlearn that because no computer keyboard featured it. And meanwhile Windows apparently can't even be bothered to copy/paste Arabic correctly (at least not in 2015 when the embedded video was recorded).
