About RTL Embedding Marks Online
This tool provides quick access to right-to-left bidirectional control characters: RLE (Right-to-Left Embedding), PDF (Pop Directional Formatting), RLO (Right-to-Left Override), LRO, LRE, and the LRM/RLM marks. Each character changes how the surrounding text is rendered for languages that read right-to-left.
Use these when developing RTL websites, when text mixing breaks (an English address inside an Arabic sentence, a Hebrew name in a CSV column header), or when crafting bidirectional text for chat, social media, or document export.
Be aware that RLO/LRO override the natural direction of characters and can be misused (e.g., faked file extensions in social engineering). Use them deliberately and document their presence so future editors don't strip them by accident.
How to use this tool
How to wrap text with Unicode RTL embedding marks
Paste the text
Drop the snippet into the "Text" field. The tool wraps the input with U+202B (Right-to-Left Embedding) at the start and U+202C (Pop Directional Formatting) at the end, forcing the enclosed range into RTL.
Press Run
Result returns a single `wrapped` field — your text with the invisible RTL markers around it. Visually nothing changes inside the tool, but pasting elsewhere flips bidirectional rendering for the wrapped section.
When this matters
Mixed-language UI strings where you want Arabic or Hebrew passages to render right-to-left inside a left-to-right document, even if surrounded by ASCII punctuation that would otherwise force LTR. Also handy for filenames that mix English and RTL scripts.
Modern alternatives
For new code, prefer the `dir="rtl"` HTML attribute, CSS `direction: rtl`, or `\u202E…\u202C` only when you can't change the surrounding markup. Some text-rendering systems treat embedded RTL marks as a security smell (RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE attacks on filenames) — review before shipping.
