Quranic annotation signs not working in Indesign
Hi. Standard Pakistani Quranic text is not rendered properly in Indesign because it is unable to handle a Unicode block correctly (see attachments)
Version of Adobe InDesign:
2021 16.3.2
Steps to reproduce the issues:
To recreate this problem, download the font 'PakType Naskh Basic' from link below:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/paktype/files/latest/download
For Quranic text sample, use text from link below:
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/paktype/code/Fonts/Deployment/Sura-Fatiha.html
I hope this bug is fixed as soon as possible because we Pakistanis need to compose standardized Quran in Indesign. Thank you.

It seems InDesign hasn't updated World-Ready Composer since a long time. Or maybe arabic support is neglected as compared to support for other languages.

Yes. It seems World-Ready Composer is the culprit as it works fine in standard paragraph composer:

I think it's worth pointing out that the glyphs that are supposed to combine with the end-of-ayah glyph render correctly in the ordinary Adobe Paragraph composer.
