[icu-support] Arabic Shaping problem (Tashkeel/Arab/Harkat)

[Muhammad T. A. <ubd...@ya...>]

Dear All,


sir i am using u_shapeArabic() in ushape.c for arabic shaping to display arabic 
text in my C Application, the sample text which i am showing is 

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

without calling u_shapeArabic() function my application is showing text as:

بِ سْ مِ ٱل لَّ هِ ٱل رَّحْ مَٰ نِ ٱل رَّحِ ي مِ

but when i call u_shapeArabic() function for arabic characters shaping then my 
application is showing text as:
ﻴﻢﺣﭐﻟﺮﻦﻤﺣﭐﻟﺮﻪﭐﻟﻠﻢﺴﺑ
 means that arabic characters shaping is working fine but Tahhkeel/Arab or 
harkat characters are replaced with . i am 
using U_SHAPE_LETTERS_SHAPE_TASHKEEL_ISOLATED|U_SHAPE_TEXT_DIRECTION_VISUAL_LTR
 as options parameter.

kindly guide me how to manage this issue

Regards,

Tanveer
