Bi-Di text treatment
I've seen a number of discussions recently about the challenges of treating text generally, and identifiers specifically, that include scripts/characters that operate both left-to-right AND right-to-left. I don't think that the UASG is a home for this because the issue extends beyond domain names and email addresses. But I think there must be someplace that focuses specifically on this topic and I would like to be able to provide a pointer to it. Any suggestions? Don

The Unicode consortium, the W3C's internationalisation group (who have dealt with these issues before in HTML)? cheers Chaals On Tue, 20 Mar 2018 20:48:03 +0100, <don.hollander@uasg.tech> wrote:

We believe that correctly handling RTL domain labels/email addresses (Bidi) is essential part UA. Otherwise, RTL users will have difficulty to understand/communicate URLs or email addresses.
