            Bug ID: 25970
           Summary: Hebrew is using general punctuation instead of
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sh.yaron at gmail dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

The current Hebrew implementation is using apostrophe and quotation mark for
Hebrew days and years, for example:
The current day form is: =D7=99=D7=95=D7=9D =D7=90'
Should actually be: =D7=99=D7=95=D7=9D =D7=90=D7=B3

The current year form is: =D7=94=D7=AA=D7=A9"=D7=A3 or =D7=94'=D7=AA=D7=A9"=
=D7=A3
While it should be: =D7=94=D7=AA=D7=A9=D7=B4=D7=A3 or =D7=94=D7=B3=D7=AA=D7=
=A9=D7=B4=D7=A3

This change should create a more standardized Hebrew experience including s=
ome
cosmetic changes, the Hebrew Geresh is RTL aligned in Unicode so inside an =
LTR
context it will still appear at the end while apostrophe is agnostic and it
will appear before the text (this is how it should work because of the cont=
ext
- my first example demonstrates this perfectly).

Furthermore, both Geresh and Gershayim (in most fonts at least) should be
stylized and their top should meet the top of the glyph height while the
non-standard characters are "popping" above the glyph height.
