• Current Unicode, HTML, and CSS standards allow the text direction to be explicitly set and opposite direction text like this كلمة! to be wrapped so that ambiguous characters like numbers or punctuation display in the correct position.
• Text with an unknown direction can also be wrapped (such as this 1. كلمة coming from a form) so that the direction is automatically determined apart from the surrounding text.
• In the rare case that the character order should be reversed, the default character direction can be overriden such that, for example, the Latin text "abc" becomes "abc".

<p dir="ltr">
    <ul>
        <li>Current Unicode, HTML, and CSS standards allow the text direction to be explicitly set and opposite direction text like this <span dir="rtl">كلمة!</span> to be wrapped so that ambiguous characters like numbers or punctuation display in the correct position.</li>
        <li>Text with an unknown direction can also be wrapped (such as this <bdi>1. كلمة</bdi> coming from a form) so that the direction is automatically determined apart from the surrounding text.</li>
        <li>In the rare case that the character order should be reversed, the default character direction can be overriden such that, for example, the Latin text "abc" becomes "<bdo dir="rtl">abc</bdo>".</li>
    </ul>    
    Any of the above can be done with Unicode, HTML, or CSS alone.</p>
