Turkish Character Display Problem on Android; Letters "i" turn into "ı"

[semcak1]

Description

I am developing an application with react native. I have a language font file called Gesta. It supports the Turkish language. I do not encounter any problems on the iOS side On the android side If the language of the device is English, the fonts are displayed properly. If the language of the device is Turkish, the letters "i" turn into the letter "ı". I want to see each letter as it is, how can I correct this?

Steps to reproduce

1. Add Gesta fonts to react-native download font by this link - > Gesta-Regular.ttf.zip to add the font to project look at this. - > https://dharasapariya.medium.com/a-guide-on-using-custom-fonts-in-react-native-android-6ef20d88c75f
2. Open terminal and move to project root then run "npm run android" or "yarn android"
3. If the device language is English, you will not see any mistakes in the fonts.
4. Then go to Language Settings in Device ( Emulator or Real ), Settings -> System -> Languages
5. Add Turkish language. And set it, ( move it up)
6. Re run the app.
7. You will see "i" letters turn into "ı".

Same here 🙌🏻 "i" letter should be "İ" when it is capitale, but shows "I".
