ABSTRACT:
A multilingual bidirectional domain name is produced by receiving a domain name having characters from at least two character sets with different display orders with just one direction of reading; breaking domain name into labels delimited by a full stop punctuation marks, the labels having an original label display order as encountered from left to right; within a label, resolving display directions of indeterminate display order characters by assigning a strong reading direction left-to-right display order to each indeterminate display order character; subsequently, reordering the characters within each of the labels into a display order using the fully resolved characters while preserving the original label display order and wherein bidirectionality of characters within each label is produced, so that produced the multilingual bidirectional domain name contains at least two different directions of reading across the entire converted address; and, displaying the multilingual bidirectional domain name on a computer display.
