They (U+300C LEFT CORNER BRACKET and U+300D RIGHT CORNER BRACKET) are bidi-neutral (bidi class ON) and have bidi-mirroring, as you should see from the nonsense string ب「ةذظظ」ت (0628 300C 0629 0630 0638 0638 300D 0629), whichever the paragraph-level embedding. Whether a top-left corner (「) should be mirrored to a bottom-right corner (」) is a matter of taste, which will probably not bother those who think that bidi-mirroring is a matter of character substitution. They are listed as a pair in both BidiBrackets.txt and BidiMirroring.txt. > They will be effectively "mirrored" by the keyboard, as I described. Except that a visual keyboard for an RTL writing system is highly unlikely to have U+300C and U+300D. Richard.
