Specifically, I am looking for realized/resolving examples of an
Arabic number (AN) and character-containing domain name, (such as
مصر.com), but that which employs the BIDI algorithm to change an
Arabic 1, to a European number (EN) 1?
The only interchange of these types in the BiDi algorithm is from
European number to Arabic number, and this chiefly affects the tags on
the characters for controlling reversals of the forwards direction and
whether European separators and terminators are treated as part of the
run of digits.
To clarify, I would not expect the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm to
change an Arabic digit into a European digit, or vice versa. I would not
ever expect it to change the identity of any character.
The UBA can change the bidirectional TYPE of a particular instance of a
character, so that it can be rendered properly, which I think is what
Richard meant. But it will never replace a "١" with a "1", nor will it
ever replace a "1" with a "١", which I think is what William Blackwood
meant.
