I think this is more or less what the Unicode bidi algorithm
recommends (using the corresponding Unicode characters, of course, not
e-TeX commands). I have to check.

Hi all,
I checked in some Persian printed books, and noticed that the rule is
to write 18% or rather
۱۸%
However I don't know of any book in Persian on rules of typography.

I think you're mistaken about the flexibility of human mind. Eight
digits may look like a lot, but that's really not a long string compared
to an average lin

for "%81 or 18%" ?

Dear Steffen,
Arabic is read from right to left, so the the % sign in front of the
number, if you read from right to left, becomes actually after the

Hi,
I have often seen (in arabic newpapers) the percentage sign set left

TitusNemeth_dissertation.pdf) that calls this "... the incorrect
placement of the percentage sign".
