Currently we are using romanized form of thaana letters instead of using actual unicode thaana letters.
This makes things a lot easier for us. The translated romanized output from english to dhivehi can be
converted to unicode by a simple mapping. This mapping is as follows:

h <char-0x0780> "letter haa

n <char-0x0782> "noonu

Thaana is written in right to left. however, for romanisation, we use from left to right. so ->
"I am a fisherman"
outputs:
"waharenqnakI masqveriwewq" (read from left to right)
which is
"އަހަރެންނަކީ މަސްވެރިއްއް" (read from _right_ to left)
