Describe the problem:
I'm trying to write Arabic in the terminal app but it does not recognize right-to-left text and does not bind the Arabic letters together as it should.
for example instead of showing Arabic like this:
محمد
it shows like this:
د م ح م
I have Arabic data in my database that shows scrambled.
So mainly, there are 2 problems:
First, they are not bind together and second, it shows the word backwards in Arabic, for example instead of showing "bye", it show "eyb", like example above

Unfortunately, xterm, tabby's terminal frontend doesn't support bidirectional text rendering. Please upvote this issue to bring more attention to this.
