I don't understand this statement. Classic, yes, but in Israeli Hebrew soft hyphens typically _are_ used in texts printed in relatively narrow justified columns -- common examples are newspapers and encyclopædias. (Or are we using terms differently? In any case, with respect to the original question about where to position a soft hyphen in a line break in the middle of a word in an opposite-direction run in bidirectional text, I believe that it doesn't make a difference whether we are referring to U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN, a hyphen automatically inserted by typesetting software, or a hyphen inserted manually). _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list Unicode@unicode.org http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
