Request to Add Missing Characters for South Azerbaijani (azb) Language in Persian Keyboard

Dear Apple Developers,

I am writing to kindly request the addition of a few missing characters to the Persian keyboard in order to better support the South Azerbaijani language (ISO 639-3 code: azb). South Azerbaijani is a Turkic language spoken by over 30 million people living primarily in northwestern Iran. The missing characters needed for proper South Azerbaijani language support are:

  • ؽ (U+063D ARABIC LETTER GHAIN)
  • وْ (U+0648 ARABIC LETTER WAW, U+0640 ARABIC TATWEEL)
  • ۇ (U+06C7 ARABIC LETTER U WITH SMALL V)
  • ۆ (U+06C6 ARABIC LETTER OW WITH SMALL V)

Currently, ؤ (U+0624 ARABIC LETTER U WITH HAMZA ABOVE) is accessible by long-pressing the و key, which is great. However, the other characters are missing. My suggestions would be:

  • Add ؽ to the long-press options for the ی key
  • Add وْ, ۇ, and ۆ to the long-press options for the و key

Introducing these few missing characters would greatly enhance the typing experience for South Azerbaijani users and allow for proper rendering of all letters in this language spoken by millions.

Thank you for your consideration. I would be happy to provide any additional information needed. This small update would mean a lot to the South Azerbaijani community.

Respectfully, Araz Gholami

I believe that we should have new keyboard for Azb like android has it.I am also calling to have this language on not only on mobile devices but also on laptops and other devices.

Apple Developer Forums is focused on helping third-party developers create products for Apple platforms. Your request is for the platform itself. The best way to submit a request like that is Feedback Assistant.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
