Can anyone explain what this is all about? I’m looking at the link and threads and have absolutely no idea what’s supposed to be significant here

- perlgeek 5y agothe Unicode codepoint with hex value 202E says "from here on, render the rest of the text from right to left" (something that's useful for Arabic scripts, for example). Duckduckgo shows infos about the codepoint and the codepoint itself in a box between the search field and the actual results, and in it, the text is rendered reversed (right to left), because that's what the codepoint tells the browser to do (and DDG doesn't have extra logic yet to either inject another "now render from left to right again" marker, or otherwise prevents it from messing up the info box).
