Re: [alreq] Need a section on Abbreviation?

The common abbreviation  examples I know are
- صلعم for صلى الله عليه وسلم aka ﷺ
- and الخ for `etc.` 

Method 2 than.

Agree with Khaled, I don’t see method 1.

In morocco, abbreviations are not common, but it is **method 3**. 
Letters in isolated form with or without a period/space after each 
letter but the last. Examples  :
1.  تعد الشركة الوطنية للإذاعة و التلفزة -"**ش.و.إ.ت"**-، الإذاعة و 
التلفزة المغربية "**إ.ت.م**" سابقا  
[here](http://www.snrt.ma/presentation.php?lang=ar), the moroccan 
radio and tv.
2. **م ش ف**  (for  المجمع الشريف للفوسفاط The Moroccan company of 
phosphat ) 
[here](https://www.facebook.com/%D8%AC%D9%85%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%85-%D8%B4-%D9%81-1580796302146608/)
 and [here](http://www.hibapress.com/details-3812.html).
3. المركزيات النقابية **إ.م.ش** – **ك.د.ش** – **ف.د.ش** تعلن from 
[here](http://umt.ma/archives/1951).
4. **م.و.س.ح**  (for المكتب الوطني للسكك الحديدة the railway in 
Morocco) 
[here](http://entreprise.oncf.ma/Ar/connaitreloncf/Pages/VisionEtValeur.aspx).

I wonder if abbreviations are of common use, e.g. as logos, in Arabic 
script countries as in other countries :
UN, UK, WHO, IBM, UNESCO (this one is phonetically spoken and written 
يونسكو).
