Looks like this in Hebrew:
<span dir="rtl">××, ×× × ×××× ××××ת ××× ×××£ ×××</span>
</p>
<p>
In the computer's memory, this is stored as
<bdo dir="ltr">××, ×× × ×××× ××××ת ××× ×××£ ×××</bdo>
</p>
html {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
bdo {
/* Add your styles here */
}
The text's characters are drawn from the starting point in the given direction; the individual characters' orientation is not affected (so characters don't get drawn backward, for example).
