  1. Design philosophy
  1. Process Injection: Upon launch, it locates the running InPage.exe process.
  2. API Hooking: It intercepts calls to Windows clipboard functions (OpenClipboard, SetClipboardData) and InPage’s internal string rendering functions.
  3. Glyph-to-Unicode Mapping: Patcher contains a massive lookup table that maps InPage’s internal glyph IDs (e.g., a particular form of Gaf) to the correct Unicode code points (e.g., U+06AF). Crucially, it also reorders the visual glyphs back into logical character order—a non-trivial task given that Nastaliq often has characters that appear out of logical sequence.
  4. Memory Write: It then overwrites the clipboard buffer with the reconstructed Unicode string.

Think of it as a bridge. It patches the existing installation files, allowing the older engine to run smoothly on modern hardware.
