Summary18001: LimeSurvey uses an outdated version of the Ar-PHP library to render Arabic glyphs correctly
Description

Dear LimeSurvey developers,

I would love to see LimeSurvey using the latest version of the Ar-PHP library:
https://github.com/khaled-alshamaa/ar-php

I will be happy to collaborate with the LimeSurvey developer team to replace the old ar-php version 3.6.0 that LimeSurvey currently uses:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/master/application/third_party/ar-php

Additional Information

You will need to add the following line into your composer.json file in the "require" section:
"khaled.alshamaa/ar-php": "^6.2",

Then, you may get some implementation hints from here:
https://github.com/bagisto/bagisto/blob/bf1c3f21af912800ffad5dcf68b9a486af0f6c81/packages/Webkul/Admin/src/Http/Controllers/Sales/InvoiceController.php#L159

The LimeSurvey scripts which need to update in your codebase are listed here:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/application/helpers/userstatistics_helper.php#L134
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/application/helpers/admin/statistics_helper.php#L133

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or feedback related to this issue.

Best regards,
Khaled
