Correct Arabic text anywhere in Unity. Bake logical Arabic to visual order so it renders on naive UI, and un-bake back to logical for TTS/search. Pure C#, no dependencies, Mono + IL2CPP.Arabic in Unity breaks in the usual places: custom mesh text, naive chat overlays, some bitmap-font pipelines, exported logs. Letters come out disconnected and left-to-right because nothing applied shaping (contextual letter forms) and bidi (right-to-left ordering). The long-standing "Arabic Support" assets tackle shaping but are largely unmaintained and have known correctness gaps.arabic-rt is a small, modern, dependency-free engine that fixes this two ways:- Fix bakes logical Arabic into visual presentation forms in correct visual order, so it displays correctly on any renderer, even one that does no Arabic processing.- Unfix un-bakes baked/visual Arabic back to clean logical order, which is what you need for text-to-speech, search indexing, analytics, and storage.It is pure C# (no native plugins), works on Mono and IL2CPP, and its output is byte-identical to the Python arabic-rt package, so you can bake text on a server and have it read correctly in the Unity client, or vice-versa.Key features:- Renders Arabic correctly even where Unity does not, with one call: Arabic.Fix(text).- Reversible: Arabic.Unfix restores clean logical order for TTS, search, analytics, and logging. Unfix(Fix(x)) == x.- Game-chat preset (Options.Game) tuned for word-by-word readers.- Pure C#, zero dependencies. Mono + IL2CPP. Targets netstandard2.0 and 2.1.- Cross-language parity with the Python arabic-rt and NuGet ArabicRt packages.- TextMeshPro example plus a one-click demo scene (Tools > arabic-rt > Build Demo Scene).- Fine control: shaping-only mode, per-word vs full-line bidi, line wrapping, and LTR/number-run preservation.- Tiny, auditable single source file.A note on fonts: arabic-rt produces correct text; how it looks is your font's job. For best results, assign a Naskh TextMeshPro font asset such as Noto Naskh Arabic or Amiri (both free, SIL OFL). This asset ships no fonts.Built by Bandar AlSwyan, author of the open-source arabic-rt engine (Python, .NET, and Unity).- Pure C#, zero dependencies. Works on Mono and IL2CPP; targets netstandard2.0 and 2.1. Compatible with Unity 2020.3 and newer.- API: Arabic.Fix (logical to baked visual), Arabic.Unfix (baked back to logical), Arabic.Shape (shaping only), plus Arabic.ContainsArabic / Arabic.IsShaped checks.- Options class with switches (CombineAllah, ReverseWordOrder, WordJoiner, PreventWordSplit, MaxLineChars) and a ready Options.Game preset.- Output is byte-identical to the Python arabic-rt and NuGet ArabicRt packages.- One auditable source file plus a TextMeshPro example and an editor demo-scene builder (Tools > arabic-rt > Build Demo Scene).- Ships no fonts. Assign a Naskh TextMeshPro font asset (e.g. Noto Naskh Arabic or Amiri, both free SIL OFL).- Source and docs: https://github.com/balswyan/arabic-rt-dotnet | Live demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/balswyan/arabic-rtAI was used as a coding and writing assistant for the C# Unity wrapper, the example/demo scripts, the documentation, and this store listing. The core text-shaping engine is the author's own deterministic algorithm (first written in Python); no machine-learning model is included in or executed by the asset at runtime.
