numToChar with socking great numbers

That’s really exciting news; it’s long overdue but still exciting.  
But I don’t think the users {we, programmers} will complain much about bidirectional support.
Even the biggest services don’t give full support to bidirectional text.
I remember that I once published a short fairy-tale of mine to Facebook.
The title was in Hebrew {RTL} - just to be exotic :) - and the story was in Turkish {LTR}.
Facebook totally messed it up with the punctuations.
The story seemed like this:

.Lorem ipsum dolor  
,sit amet ad holorem
;ti malus prefericarus

Changing back the title to Turkish didn’t help either;  
since I didn’t want to lose all the comments and likes, I left it as it was.


So, bidirectional support is truly a complex job.  
Give us a dedicated RTL field, we’ll be happy enough;  
I’ll be happy enough, for one :)


Best,
