There are several accepted spellings of the work Chanukkah, including: Hannukah Hanukkah Channukah Chanukkah
I pefer the last, since when written in Hebrew it contains one letter Nun (n) and a doubled Kaph (k). The first letter is Chet (ch as in German Bach). If you want to get all diacritical, you can put a [^] over the a, since the h at the end represents a mater lectionis, and does not really need to be transliterated.
