Diacritic problem with Awami Nastaliq

I’m posting this question verbatim from a help ticket I received for Scripture App Builder. I personally don’t know anything about this but am reaching out for help:
The diacritic 08F7 (a small arrow) is used as a diacritic by the the Urdu-based Burushaski keyman keyboard. It shows after the character in some cases instead of on top of it, and more importantly, it splits words apart that should not be split apart. This diacritic is used to indicate short vowels. We do have minimal contrast between long and short vowels. To solve this issue is important not only for the Scripture app builder and the Awami Nastaliq font, but also for the Share the story set from TWR motion who use Noto Nastaliq font. Sunni Quwat developed for Burushaski the font files Quwatz Burushaski font, which you can google for, but this may or may not solve the issue for Share the Story and the Scripture app builder.
