In theory it should work.
Could you post some examples for me (with and without diacritics ) to copy and paste for testing, please?

Thanks for your interest
each letter in each group should be treated as the same character
the other diacritics: they placed above or under the letter and should be ignored as well
(I wrote them in text file in case you can't copy them here)

I would need the codes (e.g.
0654) of all diacritics on this page:
http://jrgraphix.net/r/Unicode/0600-06FF
I could not find a page with diacritics only (and I don't know Arabic). So could you please compile those codes for me, thanks. Then I can make ignore Arabic diacritics work.

is this format (U+0651) for the code, OK?

I will use this page to get the codes easier (contains Arabic keyboard only which I need)

It seems to work *mostly*.
This character makes problems:
ي
It does not match this one when stripped off the diacritic:
ى

perfect! this is exactly what I was looking for
I was wrong about these characters they are different and should not match so I didn't add them to the codes
+ Ignore Diacritics: Now Arabic diacritics are supported. All of them.

True. However, it also stopped working in earlier versions of XY. In version where it worked before. Now this is weird.
EDIT: Oh no, tested
ى and
ي but you said there are different. So:
It does work here!
