Subject: In-depth Webinar on Bidirectional Text (Bidi Part 2)


A number of scripts, such as Hebrew, Arabic and Urdu, write their
letters horizontally on a page or screen, running right to left.
However, other characters, such as digits, flow left-to-right. Text
that handles both right-to-left and left-to-right text is called
“bidirectional” text (“bidi” in short). Bidi text can occur on the
same line, or even alongside other left-to-right text, such as Latin.

In the second of a three-part series by the Unicode Consortium, Part 2
will delve deeper into more advanced topics and practical applications
of bidirectional text processing. Three expert speakers will be on
hand to provide detailed insights and answer your questions.
Questions may be submitted in advance. The session will be recorded.

Part 1, which took place in June, provided an introduction to bidi and
is available for viewing on the Unicode Consortium YouTube channel:
