The unicode-bidi property (CSS Reference)
Introduction
The unicode-bidi property can be used to set the direction
of the text. This property is used in conjunction with the direction property.
This can be interesting for languages like Arabic or Chinese. These languages define
the text direction from right to left.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<head>
<style type="text/css">

unicode-bidi:
bidi-override;
}
p.directionLTR
{

ltr;
}
</style>
<title>unicode-bidi Demonstration</title>

demonstration</p></h1>
<h2>
<p class="directionRTL">This text is
