Summary: Arabic keyboard layout sends ligatures as one
character (Laa Problem)
Product: Fedora
Version: 37

SUMMARY

KDE sends [Arabic ligature
glyphs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet#Ligatures) as a single
glyph. For example, Laa+Alif ligature "لا" (U+0644, U+0627) is sent as
"ﻻ"
(U+FEFB), and similarly for (ﻷ، ﻵ، ﻹ).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Settings > Keyboard > Add default Arabic layout
2. Type "ﻻ" (i.e: "b" in QWERTY keyboards)
OBSERVED RESULT
Output is ﻻ (U+FEFB)
EXPECTED RESULT
Output is لا (U+0644, U+0627).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
All latest update
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To clarify for English, this is like having a key to type a ligature. Say that
you want to press "b" to type two characters: "fi" but instead you get
"fi" as a
single character. This is exactly what's happening with Arabic.
