Bidirectional script support

Imagine you are writing a letter in English, but you also want to write a word in Arabic. Arabic is written from right to left while English is written from left to right. This is where bidirectional script support comes in.

It's like having a superpower that lets you write in two different directions at the same time! Bidirectional script support is a feature in computers and devices that allows texts written in languages that go from right to left (RTL) or left to right (LTR) to be displayed and edited correctly. This means that an Arabic word can be written in the middle of an English sentence, and the computer will know to switch the direction of the letters so that it reads properly.

Like a mirror that can reflect both ways, bidirectional script support makes sure that all languages can be used correctly and seamlessly alongside each other, no matter which way they go.
