Bug Description
When using 'Dhivehi' as a keyboard input source, unicode character U07AE does not work when typing on LibreOffice or Gedit.
The character is o on the keyboard. When this key is pressed nothing happens.
All the other keys (characters) work fine except for the one that should be given by pressing o. Even Shift+o Works. I also tried exchanging the mapping of the unicode to another key. Even with that, the unicode character did not work.
I have tried changing xkbd/symbol mapping to a different key. But that didn't help.
With xev tool, the Unicode symbol is detected in the Terminal. But it does not work when tried elsewhere.
I can insert the character by typing the Unicode, like Ctrl+Shift+ U07AE. But to do this, I have to change language to English.
This issue came up on Ubuntu 17.10; in 16.04 it works as it should.

According to the bug report you are using Wayland so Xorg has nothing to do with it (especially since gedit is affected, which rules out Xwayland too).
This sounds like a bug in the low level of the shell, so assigning to mutter and libinput for now.
