This is not a request for a change. Just curious why we set the layout direction here 🤔

Thank you for raising the question @antonis 🙇

I noticed this view was placing the number sign inverted when using a RTL language, see screenshot:

non_ltr

This isn't the case in other places because we always have a prefix / suffix or the number is part of a longer string.

Upon further investigation it appears this happens only when the text of the view contains a number and any other characters except letters.

This seems to be the behavior of text views in RTL languages, though not consistent after we've introduced the changes to use western arabic numerals.

A few other explorations without setting android:layoutDirection="ltr":

Prefix word Suffix word

Conclusion: In order to maintain a consistent position of the number sign with the other places, this change was indeed needed 🙂.

At the time I was also using Wikipedia to check the topic and my understanding was that the negative sign is positioned to the right only for eastern arabic numerals.
