Jawi-exclusive characters don't connect with the normal Arabic characters

While working on a Jawi translation project, I found out about this when testing

Now that Malay with Arabic script (Jawi) is in the game, the statement above is no longer relevant...

 

The Bug

The characters only available in Jawi, which is "چ", "ڠ", "ڤ", "ݢ", "ۏ", "ک" and "ڽ", doesn't connected with the normal Arabic characters

 

Example 1 ("چ", "ڤ"," ڠ", "ڽ")

  • "چاري، ڤلاين، بردڠوڠ، ڽاوا" rendering as "چ‌ـاري، ڤ‌ـلاين، بردڠ‌ـوڠ، ڽ‌ـاوا"

 

Example 2 (ۏ)

  •   "سيۏا" rendering as "سيـ‌ۏـا" (+ an error, since the ۏ shouldn't connect with the ا after it)

 

Example 3 (ݢ)

  • "ݢڠݢم" rendering as "ݢ‌ڠ‌ݢ‌ـم"

 

Example 4 (ک)

  • "کوچيڠ" rendering as "ک‌وچ‌ـيـ‌ڠ"

 

Example 5 (ڬ)*

  • "كڬرمن" rendering as "کـڬ‌رمن"

*in Jawi script we don't usually use the arabic form of the letter ك and ڬ, but use its own form which is ک and ݢ, but it would be nice to see this also be fixed as well

 

Reproduction Steps

  1. Copy "چاري، ڤلاين، بردڠوڠ، ڽاوا" | "سيۏا" | "ݢڠݢم" | "کوچيڠ" | "كڬرمن"
  2. Paste it into the Minecraft chat

               The Jawi characters doesn't connect to the other characters

                    ("چ‌ـاري، ڤ‌ـلاين، بردڠ‌ـوڠ، ڽ‌ـاوا" | "سيـ‌ۏـا" | "ݢ‌ڠ‌ݢ‌ـم" | "ک‌وچ‌ـيـ‌ڠ" | "کـڬ‌رمن")

I know that Jawi hasn't been officially supported yet, but it would be nice to see this get fixed

Now that Jawi has been supported officially, I really hoped this would get fixed soon... But who knows I guess...
