Indeed this is one of the use cases I had in mind. But please observe that just code page conversion to Unicode might not resolve all the issues. Specifically with Bidi text, it must be transformed to logical bidi layout. This is all what this comment is about: **when one converts text to Unicode, he/she must also assure that text is transformed to logical bidi layout.** This unfortunately does not happen automatically (one of the reasons is in fact that bidi layout can't be guessed by just looking at the text Think of palindromes: "swap paws" - are we talking about text running from left to right or from right to left). . -- GitHub Notification of comment by tomerm Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues/80#issuecomment-208034767 using your GitHub account
