Hi Arthur,

Sorry for answering to this message so late (this thread is far beyond  
my knowledge and I read it just by curiosity…).
Since I am Iranian and familiar with Persian and a little bit of  
Arabic, I wanted to let you know that one types bracket and such as  
follows:
--- when writing a Persian text enclosed in parentheses, typing on a  
Persian keyboard, one types a "right parenthesis" that is U+0029,  
followed by the text intended to be enclosed in brackets (running  
right to left), and then a "left parenthesis" that is U+0028. The same  
applies when the text is enclosed within "guillemets".
(For numbers there is no difference with roman script).
However on my Mac's Persian or Arabic AZERTY keyboards, the mapping is  
not correct (that is typing a right parenthesis results in U+0028 in  
the text one is typing).

Best regards: OK
