Hebrew has a problem with right-to-left writing. I heard about some
hebrew version of emacs. On the WWW, the problem with hebrew is that
MS Explorer treats hebrew as if it's written left-to-right (the
beginning of the text is the beginning of the file, basically), and
Netscape treats hebrew as if it's written right-to-left (like European
languages, i.e., not reversing the order of letters in a line).
Arabic has yet another problem: too many forms of letters to fit into
one ASCII table.
Cyrillic letters have several encodings, but the "Official" Net
encoding is KOI-8, although some Windows or Mac users put pages with
other encodings. I've even seen a web proxy that transforms any
Cyrillic encoding to KOI-8 :)
