We probably need to use the LTR and RTL nomenclatures, which is the essence of those test cases. That also makes it generic for all RTL scripts, not only Arabic. -Dennis From: <ua-discuss-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Hazem Hezzah <hhezzah.las@gmail.com> Organization: LAS Date: Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 9:06 AM To: Don Hollander <don.hollander@icann.org> Cc: "UA-discuss@icann.org" <ua-discuss@icann.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [UA-discuss] Programming Language Hacks - UA103 Hi Don, I was just wondering why is Arabic considered different than Unicode@idn.idn<mailto:Unicode@idn.idn> in EAIs? Arabic characters are Unicode, and Arabic domain names are also IDN. The only difference is the LTR and RTL reading order, which is probably done by the rendering part, but storing and validating is the same.
