That little accent thing at the top of the middle word makes it (almost) useless.

There's a mark above the second term, some browsers don't show this in Arabic (notably, Firefox):

I understand, but what exactly is that accent? What is it? Where does it come from? What does it mean? Is it Arabic?

Absolutely no clue what it means in Arabic or what it does... but I think it's called "Shaddeh".

I only have ONE domain with that little "W" type thing... and I'm not even sure where it is in my account.

But it can be typed in: ّ ّ ّ ّ ّ ّ ّ ّ ّ lalaّlalal
