The bdo tag
The bdo tag sets the text direction: left to right (like Russian, English and many other languages) or right to left (like Arabic or Hebrew).
By default, the text taken in this tag has the "normal" direction from left to right, but this behavior can be changed using the dir attribute.
The text direction can also be changed using the CSS properties unicode-bidi and direction or the dir attribute for any tag.
