[OS X TeX] unicode characters

[manan ahmed]

On behalf of a number of humanities scholars using LaTex, I am  
wondering if there is an easier way to do transliteration without all  
the h\=a\d{s}\d{s}l\u{e}? Currently, I have macros set up for the  
most common words I use but that method is failing to work efficiently.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

manan
