To reproduce:
1. Change keyboard language to any Indic language (Sinhalese, Devanagari, Sanskrit, etc.)
2. Open a new Unity project
3. Create a Text component and try to write anything into the Text box

Expected result: appropriate scripts should be written in the text box
Actual result: Every script written appears as a question mark (?)

    You can check out this new asset, works with both Text and TextMeshPro. Cheapest and Best one on the Asset Store. Even works with the Sanskrit language.

    Unity's font system doesn't seem to be supporting GSUB and GPOS. It needs to implement that for proper localisation to many languages around the world.
