Print this checklist and test your component:

React safely escapes this, which is good for XSS protection but bad for complex Arabic diacritics (tashkeel). Escaping can strip zero-width joiners (ZWJ) and non-joiner (ZWNJ) characters that control ligatures.

Arabic is a right-to-left (RTL) script with contextual shaping—meaning a letter looks different depending on its position in a word (isolated, initial, medial, final). If you simply paste "عربية" into a standard Arabic Text.jsx component without proper configuration, you risk broken ligatures, reversed word order, or numbers that align to the left edge.

Click the script's action button (often "Write" or "Process") to generate a new text layer with correctly connected and ordered characters. Modern Alternative (No Script Needed) If you are using After Effects CC 2017 or newer , you can often skip the script by enabling native support: using Arabic in After Effects 2021 - Adobe Community

Many developers try to handle Arabic by scattering dir="rtl" across their app or relying on brute-force CSS. This leads to inconsistencies. A dedicated component acts as a single source of truth. Here’s why you need one:

By default, older versions of After Effects did not support Right-to-Left languages. Simply typing or pasting Arabic caused disconnected letters and reversed words.

; checkFont(); , []);

Remember to test your implementation with actual Arabic text and consider the specific needs of your Arabic-speaking users. With this component, you're well on your way to building truly international React applications.
