Why are brackets indicating a deviation, although in the text the brackets look fine, when Hebrew or Arabic text is compared?

In bidirectional contexts, left (i.e. opening) and right (i.e. closing) brackets can be interpreted differently in MS Word and Adobe PDF documents.

Brackets belong to the characters that have a “mirroring” property: They appear differently, usually mirror-inverted, when the Unicode bidirectional rules deem it appropriate, depending on the surrounding text. For the comparison of Arabic and Hebrew documents, we recommend using the Leaflets (Complex Languages). Such flipped brackets will be detected as Bracket Flip Warnings.
