Why Does Mixed Arabic Text Look Out of Order?
Arabic runs from right to left, while English, numbers, and URLs run from left to right. When both directions appear in one line, an app may position brackets, punctuation, numbers, or links in surprising places even though the stored characters are correct.

Common Direction Problems
- An order number appears before the wrong phrase.
- An English URL visually splits an Arabic sentence.
- Opening and closing brackets look reversed.
- A colon or period moves to the opposite edge.
- An English product name and Arabic price display incorrectly.
How an RTL Fixer Works
The tool uses invisible Unicode direction marks to clarify how mixed segments should be displayed. It does not translate or rewrite the words. It provides layout guidance that compatible browsers, messaging apps, and document editors can interpret.
How to Use It
- Paste the text that displays incorrectly.
- Run the direction correction and inspect the preview.
- Copy the corrected result into the target application.
- Test the final destination before publishing.
Tips for Reliable Results
Use consistent punctuation, remove accidental repeated spaces, and place very long URLs on a separate line when possible. Avoid stacking manual direction marks because invisible duplicates can make later editing confusing.
