In Unicode, there is no need for right-to-left versions of mathematical symbols. The square root character U+221A is the same for English and Arabic. The trick is that this kind of characters (punctuation, operators, symbol) have a property, called "mirrored", which causes them to be displayed with a reversed glyph when in a right-to-left paragraph. This is the theory: in order to make it really happen, you should have support for "smart fonts" (such as OpenType), and the smart font you are using should contain proper mirrored glyphs. Unfortunately, I don't know a single font being able to do this. _ Marco
