Why doesn't #Kitty render this #Arabic text correctly? I don't know Arabic, but even I know this ain't Arabic. None of the three phrases is even remotely correct. Many of the letters aren't even letters. (What's Arabic for “mojibake”?)

Font problem? Terminal problem? Emacs problem?

I can confirm that the data *in* the file is correct, because it renders correctly in Firefox.
