[thelist] Direction of Text

[Syed Zeeshan Haider]

Hi Michiel,
You are right! The language (Urdu), which I want to use, is written from
right to left and I want to do the same on my web page. However, I could
not understand from your answer that how can I use unicode. Can you give
me some examples?
Thank you,
Syed Zeeshan Haider.

Or if you want to display a language that is originally written right
to left just use the unicode characters. That should work as well.
