@tomerm This still doesn't make sense to me. What do you mean by "layout"? Application of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm? The encodings I mentioned are character encodings used to *store* the data. Their relevance to this discussion is that they store data differently from character encodings that store data in logical order: these encodings store the bytes representing each character in "teletype order" (the order that a left-to-right printing line printer would output them). This certainly can make searching more difficult because the source and target text might need to be re-ordered in order to compare them and things such as line-breaking may change the order of the characters in storage. If this is what you mean, note that the layout issues don't affect text comparison in this document, since once both the source and target text have been converted to Unicode all of the presentational variation has (hopefully) been resolved (or the text will be muddled). -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues/80#issuecomment-208018520 using your GitHub account
