Environment: Xcode 26.2 Simulator: 26.0 / iPhone 17 Summary: Assigning a specific Unicode string to a UILabel (or any UITextView / text component backed by CoreText) causes an immediate crash. The string contains a visible base character followed by a zero-width non-joiner and two combining marks. let label = UILabel() label.text = "\u{274D}\u{200C}\u{1CD7}\u{20DB}" // ^ Crash in CoreText during text layout Crash stack trace: The crash occurs inside CoreText's glyph layout/shaping pipeline. The combining marks U+1CD7 and U+20DB appear to stack on the ZWNJ (which has no visible glyph), causing CoreText to fail during run shaping or bounding box calculation. Questions: Is this a known CoreText regression in the iOS 26.0 simulator? Is there a recommended fix or a more targeted workaround beyond stripping zero-width Unicode characters? Will this be addressed in an upcoming update
