Issue #20617 has been updated by duerst (Martin Dürst). `(\p{In_Arabic}` may not be enough. There are 8 blocks with a name containing 'Arabic'. For details, see e.g. https://www.unicode.org/Public/15.1.0/ucd/Blocks.txt. They would be selectable with: `\p{In_Arabic}|\p{In_Arabic_Extended_A}|\p{In_Arabic_Extended_B}|\p{In_Arabic_Extended_C}|\p{In_Arabic_Mathematical_Alphabetic_Symbols}|\p{In_Arabic_Presentation_Forms_A}|\p{In_Arabic_Presentation_Forms_B}|\p{In_Arabic_Supplement})`. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20617: /\pArabic/ character property doesn't match certain Arabic characters https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20617#change-109035 * Author: kytrinyx (Katrina Owen) * Status: Closed * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-darwin21] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I am not sure this is a bug. On some occasions I have Arabic text, but the Arabic character property rejects it as being Arabic. Example: ``` str = "شغل مرحلة أولى ، جداً؟" /^\p{Arabic}$/.match(str).inspect # => nil str.chars.reject {|char| /\p{Arabic}/.match(char)}.uniq # arabic space, arabic comma, arabic question mark, and arabic fatahan ``` This isn't a problem, since I defined my own regex to include the missing characters, but wanted to raise it in case it is, in fact, a bug. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
