This might be caused by a bug in Firefox, or it might be caused by missing fonts on your Android phone. Do other browsers on your phone have full Kurdish support?

Navigating to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish_language#Phonology shows the same missing characters on the stock browser as in Firefox. This would be a Droid Font issue which Google would need to fix.

@mbrubeck: Strange I replied to your answer just 30 minutes after your post but magicaly it is disappeared. Here is my answer again:

I only tried firefox and the preinstalled browser on my phone none of them supports kurdish. Also no other program supports kurdish. Is it something that only firefox ore google have to fix or can i fix it myself. I have a little bit experience programming in java and c and also have programmed for Android, but never done anything about fonts and language packages.

Thanks again.
