Hello, I will show the problem in the attachments because many won't be familiar with the Sinhala font.

So the right way to type the word Ayubowan is show in Attachment 1. 

When I type this on Text Edit or Google or anywhere and paste, AP pastes as that. So, that's wrong Sinhala. 

I re-installed 2 Sinahal fonts (Iskola Pota and Noto Sans Sinhala on the MacOS just to verify. Actually the same word pastes just fine on Illustrator, Word - even without selecting fonts.

How to fix this? Not just this word, many Sinhala words go mixed and not showing characters on AP.

Welcome to the Affinity forums.

Unfortunately, this is a well-known issue in the Affinity applications, with some Unicode font functions not being supported yet. You can, for example, search the forum for Sinhala or check the tag AF-3329

You're welcome.

It's a long-standing issue, and I personally don't expect to see it fixed soon. But only the developers would know for sure.
