Frequently Asked Questions
What is text direction?
Text direction refers to the way text is read and displayed. LTR (Left-to-Right) is used for languages like English, Spanish, and French. RTL (Right-to-Left) is used for languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.
How does auto-detection work?
Our auto-detection analyzes the Unicode character ranges in your text. It counts LTR characters (Latin, Cyrillic, etc.) and RTL characters (Arabic, Hebrew) to determine the predominant text direction.
What are Unicode directional marks?
Unicode provides special invisible characters like LRM (Left-to-Right Mark) and RLM (Right-to-Left Mark) that can control text direction. These marks are particularly useful for mixing LTR and RTL text.
When should I use Force Reverse?
Force Reverse is useful when you want to display text in the opposite direction from its natural direction, such as testing RTL layouts with English text or reversing character order for specific applications.
How do I handle mixed LTR and RTL text?
For mixed content, use the "Auto Direction" option which allows the browser to determine direction based on the first strong directional character in each block of text. This is ideal for bilingual content.
Best Practices
Use Semantic HTML
Use the dir attribute in HTML for proper text direction
Test Thoroughly
Always test bidirectional text with real content from both directions
Consider Layout
Remember that RTL affects entire layout, not just text direction
Unicode Marks
Use directional marks sparingly, only when necessary for proper display
