On my Windows 7 system with en-US locale there are Unicode LTR marks in the text of the clock. I made some adjustments to the date and time format, but my guess is that this occurs for the clock in general. Probably also for RTL languages.
Steps to reproduce:
- Press Windows+b to go to the notification area.
- Press left arrow until you reach the clock.
- Expected: see the date and time in braille.
- Actual: see the date and time plus Unicode character U+200E (LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK) prefixed to the date fields.
This character shows up because it is not in the liblouis table en-us-comp8.ctb. It's not likely to be in any other tables either.
Here is the text as copied from NVDA's review mode. Note that these characters are invisible:
Clock 19:21, Sunday, 31-01-2016
I haven't encountered these characters anywhere else in Windows' GUI but apparently a similar situation exists in the file properties dialog, albeit with a different character:

Can anyone reproduce this? Is it something that could be addressed in NVDA, at least for the clock, e.g. by means of a simple filter? Or is this more of a liblouis thing?
