The rule in question is written down here: <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#L3">http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#L3</a> If you want, for example, to output this sequence to a non-bidi-aware terminal, then the result that FriBidi is creating is correct and the BAR is incorrect. Looking at the BAR code, I'm much more confident in FriBidi being correct than in BAR. Hi Behdad, Thanks very much for the informative reply. I learn something new every day, including the fact that I have a lot to learn. I feel sure I should have a followup question but I need to experiment some more before I can ask it. I agree with your confidence in FriBidi over BAR. The latter is great for what it is, but I’m sure FriBidi sees more use and review. Thanks again Philip </div>
