Yes. It takes the direction of the paragraph, which is RTL. > And I don't see then how you can pair the final quotation mark, unless you > consider it as "leading" the > ARABIC-TWO part (meaning that you don't pair these quotation marks at all: > only brackets are paired and the > fragment【Japanese1】 is correct (you are using the new Bidi algorithm). The quotes don't need to pair, they just need both to have the paragraph direction. And that's what happens, because text on each side of each quote has different directionality. The UBA mandates that the quote (which is ON) takes the embedding direction in that case, and the embedding direction here is the base paragraph direction.
