Note: Direction is NOT determined by script, NOR by General Category. In Unicode, it is set solely per character in the Bidi_Type value aka Bidi_Class. (read this again). From there: each Bidi_Type is in one group of these: Strong, Neutral, Weak. Neutral and Weak characters depend on the environmental characters to get the right direction (think: numerals, punctuation and diacritics).
