I took the characters that you pasted in the issue you just made, and on Mac OS X, with a proper a Unicode font set, Arial Unicode MS, I get this:


Is that correct ? 

There will be a left-to-right issue, but it is not a UTF-8 / Unicode problem I think.

Although Pharo doesn�t support RTL renderin, that�s not a rendering error though, but a mismatch between the encoding of the text in clipboard, and that expected by the image.
(R2L text isn�t*stored*  RTL, so that should have no impact).

Could it be you�re using a non-Unicode locale?
Any chance you could find what OS/locale settings/source text this happens for?


No I just copy and paste from the iStoa web translation tool some hebrew messages[1] in Pharo.
Then I try to copy paste by the intermediate of a text editor with UTF-8 encoding same error (I noted that when pasting in the text editor, the message was right aligned).
When I try to copy and paste a single character same error.
So we may have an issue in the UTF-8 converter.
