Hi Richmond, My bad, should have been: numtoChar(55357) numToChar(56832) Note that current versions of LiveCode don't really treat surrogate pairs properly - each codeunit of the pair is treated as a character so it is possible to do things like apply a style that only affects one of the two

Hi Phil, We do intend to have RTL support in the 7.x cycle. What is most likely to happen is that we'll initially introduce a simplified mode where a field is exclusively right-to-left or left-to-right and mixing isn't really supported. (Individual words in a mixed setting should render in the
