But are these supplemental Malayalam letters borrowed from Syriac really RTL like in the Syriac script ? I have doubts (it would seriously impact the Malayalam script which is LTR).
May be the letter forms are identical (or similar) but they are changed to LTR (so the disunicification is justified if these are really letters). Or these are combining diacritics (working within the Indic letter clusters), i.e. in a "C*" general category but not in a "L*" general category (in which case they are Bidi neutral and don't really need to be in the RTL range). 2016-05-11 16:47 GMT+02:00 Doug Ewell <[email protected]>: > I wrote: > > > Pandey's proposal suggests they > > should have General Category AL, like other Syriac letters. > > AL is a bidi type, not a General Category.
