Abstract
A computer system for processing bidirectional characters includes a processor and memory. An application stored in the memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor and memory and that are configured to determine an embedding direction and at least one of output, export or display data including characters using bidirectional code. While at least one of outputting, exporting or displaying the data, the instructions are configured to parse a multi-segment data value including a plurality of segments and a delimiter arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of segments. The delimiter includes two or more neutral type characters that are arranged immediately adjacent to one another. The delimiter causes the bidirectional code to apply the embedding direction to the delimiters of the multi-segment data value to maintain relative ordering of adjacent ones of the segments in the multi-segment data value.
