ok, everything is in the attached file aqc-trans.sty (also 2 b found in 
your private sanaah tree \texmf-var\tex\generic\sanaah). Most important:

1.

\def\h#1{{\oalign{\relax#1\crcr\hidewidth\SHIFT{34}%
     \vbox to.2ex{\hbox{\char'25}\vss}\hidewidth}}}

% this one fails when using m-bib so I have some workarounds in the 
attached file

2.

\def\IBAR%
{\leavevmode\vbox{\offinterlineskip\lineskip0.295ex%
%\ialign{##\cr\USHIFT{120}\hbox to .27777em{\leaders\hrule height 
.067354ex\hfill}\SHIFT{1}\cr\i\cr}}}
%\ialign{##\cr\USHIFT{120}\hfill\hbox to .21243em{\leaders\hrule height 
.067354ex\hfill}\hfill\SHIFT{1}\cr\i\cr}}}
\ialign{##\cr\USHIFT{120}\hfill\hbox to .21243em{\leaders\hrule height 
.07ex\hfill}\hfill\SHIFT{1}\cr\i\cr}}}

\definecharacter imacron          {\IBAR} % ConTeXt-dependent!

3.

\def\cupd{\leavevmode\USHIFT{14}\rotate[rotation=180,location=high]{\txx 
c}\SHIFT{14}} % ConTeXt dependent!
\def\cupds{\leavevmode\USHIFT{21}\rotate[rotation=180,location=high]{\switchtobodyfont[small]\txx 
c}\SHIFT{14}} % ConTeXt dependent!

\def\HAMZAH{\leavevmode\raise.9ex\hbox{\cupd}{}}
\def\HAMZAHS{\leavevmode\raise.9ex\hbox{\cupds}{}}
\def\AYN   {\leavevmode\raise.9ex\hbox{\txx \USHIFT{1} c\SHIFT{0}}{}}
%\def\AYN   {\leavevmode\raise.9ex\hbox{\switchtobodyfont[small]\txx 
\USHIFT{1} c\SHIFT{1}}{}}
\def\AYNS   {\leavevmode\raise.9ex\hbox{\switchtobodyfont[small]\txx 
\USHIFT{1} c\SHIFT{1}}{}}

\def\'{\HAMZAH}
\def\`{\AYN}
========================

There may be a couple of more important ones, I need to check...
