When you click on a user profile then expand it, some letters in a username is cutoff
when adding some bottom padding it appears correctly

Is this about the usercard or the profile?
Nate added the usercard tag, but I had the impression you were referring to the profile and its expand button.
Usercard
Profile (currently with a ‘collapse’ button because it’s expanded)

Can you share a little more info as to where in the app this is happening? I’ve used the same arabic text locally and cannot seem to reproduce the issue.
Are you using foundation or horizon theme that are bundled into discourse now, or something else?

It is usercard.
@jordan.vidrine usercard, if I changed @Moin name in this html tag
```plaintext
هاني
```
to “هاني” this is how it looks (missing the 2 dots in “ي”)

So specifically on this forum? (meta), or are you seeing this on your own forum / local instance?
Which theme do you have enabled here when browsing meta?
