Hmm, it looks like my understanding might've been mistaken. Even the Unicode Bidi Algorithm doesn't seem to handle any cases other than European or Arabic numerals, and it treats both of them the same directionally. Regardless, after you've aligned your cells by decimal point, you probably want to left-align the block of them if you're in an RTL interface. > > And while we're poking holes in this idea of mine, are there any iOS > localizations that use non-Arabic numerals? :-) I haven't looked.
