Hello,
Is Unicode's so-called "bidi algorithm" really bidirectional, that is, does it govern
horizontal text layout in right-to-left and left-to-right languages?
Or is "bidi" a metaphor here, for more possible text orientations, including vertical
boustrophedons and other historically available options? I'm asking because I tried
to read the Unicode 3.0 paper documentation and wasn't sure what it was saying at some
points.
Also, on the Internet, are historically vertically placed languages being written
vertically? Some of them are BOTH vertical and right to left...........How difficult
is this technically?
