RTL is on web page reverses numbers with a dash

Question

When my website displays Hebrew text mixed with numbers, and there is a number with a dash in the middle, the number with the dash in the middle is displayed RTL. For example, with the text: רמה 4–0, it should display 4-0 instead of 0-4, since it is a numeral sequence, and the '4' precedes the '0'. However, on the browsers I checked, it displays the '0' before the '4'.

Since this could occur any place in the system data is displayed, it would be much preferable to have a CSS solution that does not require something like:

<span style="direction:ltr">4-0</span> 

The general direction for text should remain RTL, but numbers with dashes should be displayed LTR. Should display properly on the major browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome).

Answer 1

There is another way to do this by appending ‎ before the numbers:

<span>&#x200E;+44 780-780-7807</span>
