Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Cursive shaping breaks (near an image representing a letter) (#3487)

Agreed that this should be solved by using ZWJ, and that markup should have no effect on joining behavior.

CSS Text has a normative reference to Unicode, which pulls in the Arabic shaping and ZWJ handling requirements here: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#text-encoding
It also specifies how markup affects shaping here: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#boundary-shaping
And @frivoal is working on test cases for ZWJ's effect on Arabic shaping here: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/14673

I think that means this issue is closed spec-wise. Some advice from anyone with insight on font interactions with shaping (@litherum / @upsuper / @jfkthame?) might be helpful in the testcase thread, though.

@ntounsi Does this work for you?
