In case anyone else is working on the Dhivehi language, there's a bug in
Java which (as far as we have been able to discover) prevents proper
rendering of the Thaana script used for Dhivehi.  Thaana has long had a
Unicode block, but Java seems not to recognize that Thaana is written
right-to-left.  The bug does not affect Arabic script.  I've never checked
about other right-to-left scripts, like Syriac.
