Unicode characters for some languages aren't displayed correctly (Thai, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, ...)

Some characters are displayed incorrectly, which affects the positioning of characters in in-game GUIs and chat components.

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (i.e. 1.10.2, or 16w42a) of Minecraft?

Still an issue in 1.13 pre-5. I hope https://twitter.com/MissMarzenia/status/1014106511218565120 should fix it. (Maybe?)

@@unknown: Check the "clip" function.

Now with the font changes in 1.13-pre6, can someone please check if this issue is fixed in this particular version.

SteveKunG

Still not fixed in pre-7.

Still present in 18w43b

Confirmed. This seems to affect other south-east Asian languages as well, such as Hindu, Tamil, or Kannada.

Still not fixed in 20w16a

Can this still be reproduced in 20w30a or later?

Relates to / duplicated by MC-157148.

As of 23w17a, the characters no longer display a circle beneath them but they do not connect correctly either.

This also a problem in Bedrock edition.  MCPE-166005

Please devs, Bedrock is easily the most played version of Minecraft in Thailand, and we're doing a bunch of Thai kids a disservice by not allowing them to communicate and collaborate easily in-game.  In 2024, Minecraft is the gateway to Art, Architecture, and all things STEM.  Let's help Thai kids on that path by improving their ability to collaborate, communicate, and learn from each other in-game!

Just adding to the list of languages, it also affects gurmukhi script for panjabi.
