unicode-bidi

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The unicode-bidi attribute, together with the direction attribute, determines how bidirectional text in a document is handled. For example, if a block of content contains both left-to-right and right-to-left text, the browser uses the Unicode bidirectional algorithm to decide how to display the text. The unicode-bidi attribute allows the developer to override this algorithm and control the text embedding.

Note: As a presentation attribute, unicode-bidi also has a CSS property counterpart: unicode-bidi. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
