@shervinafshar Thanks for the effort of going through the issues and
cleaning up the discussion.
I updated the tables in the PR #89 by adding number symbols from
ICU4J. This adds these characters:
- U+00D7 MULTIPLICATION SIGN
- U+066A ARABIC PERCENT SIGN
- U+066B ARABIC DECIMAL SEPARATOR
- U+066C ARABIC THOUSANDS SEPARATOR
for Arabic. That solves point 2 and 3 from Shervin’s comment above.
It also adds U+221E INFINITY for both languages.
But U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS is not added for Arabic because we are
excluding ASCII from our tables and have stated this in the document.
IIRC we made that decision to avoid polluting our tables with ASCII
punctuations that are common among Arabic and Latin. These are the
ASCII characters that are being dropped because of this rule: `
!"'()*+,-./:;<=>?[\]{|}` (and space). I’m thinking that we might want
to reconsider this.
