Hi Mark,

It works in Mathematica 12.3.1 if you specify "PageGraphics" as the second argument of ImportString:

InputForm@ImportString[ExportString[l, "PDF"], "PageGraphics"]

Here is a ready-made solution from version 1.0.2 of ResourceObject["SVGImport"]["DefinitionNotebook"] by Richard Hennigan (Wolfram Research):

ImportString[ExportString[l, "PDF"], 
       If[$VersionNumber >= 12.2, {"PDF", "PageGraphics"}, {"PDF", "Pages"}]]

Thank you so much Mark for sharing this. Clear illustrations and easy to read code. It is a treat to see the Arabic letter "ظ" in your opening image. This letter's pronunciation is close to the letter "Z" in English.

Very nice. I hope to see this in the Wolfram Function Repository.
