Title:
  Arabic keyboard layout sends ligatures as one character (Laa Problem)

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
