template doesn't display shapes

what i could see 2020-05-10 23:00 Australian time. Irtapil (talk) 13:47, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone seeing this character display correctly on this page? The character is not available in most fonts, it works in some nastaliq fonts so the {{uninastaliq}} ࣇ or {{nastaliq}} ࣇ or {{nq}} ࣇ templates might help, but the {{Arabic alphabet shapes}} template does not work with most nastaliq fonts because many of them are missing tatweel.

position	isolated	end	middle	start
form	ࣇ	‍ࣇ	‍ࣇ‍	ࣇ‍
footnote	forms are created using zero width joiner ( U+200D, &#8205 ) because most fonts containing this character do not include tatweel .

i tried, but my version doesn't work either. Irtapil (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

it won't even connect to bah. Irtapil (talk) 13:47, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

it must be displaying in SIL Awami Nastaliq, which doesn't work in most browsers.Irtapil (talk) 13:47, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

position	isolated	end	middle	start
form	لؕ	‍لؕ	‍لؕ‍	لؕ‍
footnote	forms are created using ل combined with diacritic ـــؕــ and zero width joiner ( U+200D, &#8205 ) to show position because very few fonts include the character ࣇ , and fonts which do often will not join it correctly.

now the toe is in the wrong spot and the zero width joiners still don't work... Irtapil (talk) 13:47, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

i think the last one works best? Irtapil (talk) 13:56, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you are correct. There is a lack of font support as well encoding support but i didn't know how to manage it. I have briefly tweaked your edit Taimoorahmed11 (talk) 02:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
