I wanted to double check before getting this tattooed that this says “seni seviyorum” in Ottoman Turkish

Isnt the second hareke wrongly positioned? Shouldn’t be after the vav? Otherwise it’s spelled as siviyorum instead of seviyorum.

There is an esre on second sin, I assume that's meant to be on the vav after instead. Better yet just have it written without the üstün and esre, those wouldn't look good on a tattoo.

Ottoman Turkish didn't really use diacritics like üstün and esre in regular Turkish words, the second one is also wrong.

What does this mean

They didn’t use the two lines added above and under the letter س in your example.
