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.

— This resource pack includes additional Thai Unicode bitmaps with vowels, tone marks, and signs on consonants.

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?)

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.

Bedrock Edition has already been fixed. in MCPE-166005
