Right To Left Language Bracket Reversed

问题

I am using a StringBuilder in C# to append some text, which can be English (left to right) or Arabic (right to left)

stringBuilder.Append("(");
stringBuilder.Append(text);
stringBuilder.Append(") ");
stringBuilder.Append(text);

If text = "A", then output is "(A) A"

But if text = "بتث", then output is "(بتث) بتث"

Any ideas?

回答1:

This is a well-known flaw in the Windows text rendering engine when asked to render Right-To-Left text, Arabic or Hebrew. It has a difficult problem to solve, people often fall back to Western words and punctuation when there is no good alternative word available in the language. Brand and company names for example. The renderer tries to guess at the proper render order by looking at the code points, with characters in the Latin character set clearly having to be rendered left-to-right.

But it fumbles at punctuation, with brackets being the most visible. You have to be explicit about it so it knows what to do, you must use the Unicode Right-to-left mark, U+200F or \u200f in C# code. Conversely, use the Left-to-right mark if you know you need LTR rendering, U+200E.

回答2:

Use AppendFormat instead of just Append:

stringBuilder.AppendFormat("({0}) {0}", text)

This may fix the issue, but it may - you need to look at the text value - it probably has LTR/RTL markers characters embedded. These need to either be removed or corrected in the value.

I had a similar issue and I managed to solve it by creating a function that checks each Char in Unicode. If it is from page FE then I add 202C after it as shown below. Without this it gets RTL and LTF mixed for what I wanted.

string us = string.Format("\uFE9E\u202C\uFE98\u202C\uFEB8\u202C\uFEC6\u202C\uFEEB\u202C\u0020\u0660\u0662\u0664\u0668 Aa1");
