You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Ubuntu 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
Settings > Keyboard > Add default Arabic layout
Type "ﻻ" (i.e: "b" in QWERTY keyboards)
OBSERVED RESULT
Output is ﻻ (U+FEFB)
EXPECTED RESULT
Output is لا (U+0644, U+0627).
To clarify for English speakers, 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 this issue.
