folks,
I think you may find it useful to read this article, which is still a
pre-published draft. It describes a simple way to make text such as
Egyptian hieroglyphs run RTL in HTML, and even mirror glyphs, without
disturbing the normal semantic flow of the character stream.

I'd also appreciate it if you could check whether the characters i used
for the Egyptian example are correct: 𓅓𓂤𓎡𓏏𓏦𓀭
𓅓 U+13153 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH G017
𓂤 U+130A4 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH D043
𓎡 U+133A1 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH V031
𓏏 U+133CF EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH X001
𓏦 U+133E6 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH Z002A
𓀭 U+1302D EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH A040
many thanks,
Richard.
PS: I haven't given any thought to how this affects or is affected by
the use of quadrats created by the new Unicode formatting characters.
