”® abcdefg everything is backwards

looks like html constrains it to a text run

[Kevin Marks] ”® inline RTL works in reverse without implementers knowing #indieweb
#
KevinMarks_
note that the RTL marker in that posts makes it all the way through the various processing chains, into IRC and back into the logs on the web
#
KevinMarks_
Twitter is stripping it, but that may be because it is the most extreme one thta reverses roman text
#
KevinMarks_
if there is an good example of mixed-run text, I'll try the same chain

The title is "مفتاح معايير الويب!”" in Arabic.

[Kevin Marks] The title is "مفتاح معايير الويب!”" in Arabic. (exclamation mark should be on left) #indieweb

KevinMarks_

apparently stripping the RLM between the exclamation mark and quote
#
tantek
interesting
#
KevinMarks_
when I paste it in a facebook box it goes wrong too
#
KevinMarks_
ditto twitter
#
tantek
KevinMarks, pasting into text boxes is not a good test, as it makes sense that those would strip any invisible things that do strange things.
#
tantek
The right test is via the API directly
#
KevinMarks_
well, that's what I did with known, paste in the text box
#
KevinMarks_
and if I hover over the tab that known post is in, the title text displays correctly
#
KevinMarks_
hm, that may be because it says " though
#
tantek
interesting
#
KevinMarks_
nope, with smart quotes it still works
#
Loqi
[Kevin Marks] The title is “مفتاح معايير الويب!”” in Arabic. (exclamation mark should be on left) #indieweb - smart quotes
