Bug ID: 503279
Summary: Copying ﻷ doesn't follow its Unicode (Arabic)
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 24.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The "ﻷ" have its own Unicode (U+FEF7). If you copied it and pasted it somewhere
else out of KWrite, it converts its Unicode to "ل" (U+0644) and "أ" (U+0623),
which if combined provides the same character but with each latter having its
own Unicode. I think it might be issue with Kate too, but I didn't test it out.
It is an issue when you are trying to search for that string and it shows 0
results on other software because of that behavoir.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. use shortcut shift + g in Arabic keyboard layout to type "ﻷ"
2. copy it and paste it somewhere out of KWrite
OBSERVED RESULT
it converts its Unicode to "ل" (U+0644) and "أ" (U+0623), which if combined
provides the same character but with each latter having its own Unicode.
EXPECTED RESULT
Preserve its own Unicode (U+FEF7).
