Bidirectional text

Also called: Bidi

Text that mixes right-to-left and left-to-right content, like a phone number inside an Arabic sentence.

Definition

Numbers, URLs and brand names inside RTL text can appear in the wrong order or jump around. It's a classic RTL test case.

In practice

An Arabic sentence with an order number shows the digits reversed.
