Some languages read right to left, so that the rightmost glyph is
first, not last?
Right on target, a hair shy of the bullseye. Some writing systems are
right-to-left, but general text may be bidirectional--that is, a
mixture of left-to-right and right-to-left content. In bidirectional
text the visual ordering of the glyphs is determined from the logical
ordering by the bidi algorithm, and the rightmost glyph may be first,
last, or anywhere in between in logical ordering.
