Consider this title for a web page: This is a mixed text from right-to-left

  • 0

Consider this title for a web page:
enter image description here

This is a mixed text from right-to-left and left-to-right languages, and the directionality of the entire text might be:

  1. Left-to-right, if you embed rtl snippets inside ltr text
    enter image description here

  2. Right-to-left, if you embed ltr snippets inside rtl text
    enter image description here

In some web pages, you need to provide a right-to-left title, intermixed with left-to-right text snippets. However, browser doesn’t format it correctly. It renders the entire <title> content with ltr directionality. This causes a title, which should be shown like
enter image description here
to be shown like
enter image description here

I know that CSS is not working there. Is there any way to force the browser to render the <title> with correct directionality?

    You could try using the Unicode RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE character. See here.
    That is, start the title text with &#x202E;
    A quick test shows that it works, at least on my browser; not sure if it will work on all browsers. And it may write pizza backwards. Use with care.
