Talk:𐤁𐤏𐤋

Letter order

Phoenician encoding is pretty new so while there are more Google hits for 𐤁𐤏𐤋‏‏ than 𐤋𐤏𐤁‏‏, absolutely all of them are from unreliable sources: amateurs on wikis putting symbols together from Wikipedia's Phoenician alphabet page. Now, that page says Phoenician was usually right-to-left and the header here showed it in the order 𐤋𐤏𐤁, so I moved the page here. Not sure, though, if we had some convention to write phn in the wrong direction. If so, that's fine but we should have a link to an explanation, redirects from the correct order, and the same order in the entry head as the page name. — LlywelynII 08:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

See 𐤇𐤋𐤁 for an example of the kind of mess we have going on now. Apparently a hundred-odd examples of this to fix but seems odd. Do we write the Arabic entries backwards too? — LlywelynII 08:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with Phoenician but I do know that Unicode has designated Phoenician as RTL just like Arabic. —suzukaze (t・c) 08:31, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

The letters should be encoded in order, so for bal encode bet, then ain, then lamd; whether these are then displayed right-to-left or left-to-right is a distinct matter. It happens that Phoenician was usually written right-to-left and Unicode has encoded it accordingly, so the page is correct where it is now (𐤋𐤏𐤁‏‏ is incorrect). - -sche (discuss) 19:44, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

I'll just add that although Unicode has encoded them correctly, not software handles it correctly, and for some operating systems, browsers, and/or fonts, these will not be displayed correctly. --WikiTiki89 15:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
