The Armenian script is like a long-lost relative of Latin/Greek/Cyrillic, and is often also displayed under a Roman font, as glyphs can be indirectly derived from lookalikes in Latin/Greek/Cyrillic

Many computer scientists moved to Armenia after 2022-02-24. Also, some prominent companies were founded there, like Picsart and Krisp.ai.

My terminal right now (making a data pipeline for my small business). You can see Latin and Cyrillic are rendered fine, while Armenian is sticking out. Screenshot 2024-05-10 at 12 12 10

UPD: Just in case: the problem with the above image is that the letters Ա and ր in the word Արմեն (Armen) are overlapping because the fallback monospace font is wider than Iosevka.

Well, no one here really knows Armenian typography (or how those characters work in Grotesque/Slab Serif style at least), so we can't really do anything about it now.

You can contribute if you want tho
