Generally, yes - this is called script transliteration. You could try this online at
http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/tr where you can use transliterations for other scripts, and
also prototype some rules for the transliteration that you need. With these rules, you can use ICU
functions in your program to perform the transliteration. http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/
