Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Please give it more priority

It’s been two years without support for this feature, which honestly feels surprising. It gives the impression that supporting Arabic users may not be a priority, and I just wanted to share that concern openly.
