Improper list alignment with Unicode Character 'ARABIC DAMMA' (U+064F)
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description:
Sorry for this:

At the url you may find links to
[[fa:کاربر:ُSalman Ebrahimi]] and [[fa:کاربر:ُSenator]]

These user names start with
Unicode Character 'ARABIC DAMMA' (U+064F)
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/064f/index.htm
ُ or ُ which equals to %D9%8F

I am not familiar with this character but "playing" with this it seams that it
displays only in RTL or BiDi context: If you try to replace 'کاربر' with 'user'
the characters "disapears": [[fa:user:ُSalman Ebrahimi]] and [[fa:user:ُSenator]]
(but generate invalid links at least at [[fa:]]).

This is what I experience with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de;
rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2 .

I am not shure how this (and similar characters) should be handeled and have no
clue how the links should be displayed properly at [[fa:special:Listusers]].

See also [[fa:user:Gangleri/bugzilla/ARABIC_DAMMA]]

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

*note* This bug migth be browser dependend.

Sorry: They generate both valid links at [[fa:]] *and* at comment 0.

Thanks Connel! IE looks OK.

Probably a browser rendering issue and nothing we can do about it.
