Backwards

[asterroc]

For some reason, this one post in physics has the text title part backwards, next to the user's icon.

Thank Unicode (at least, that's what I'm guessing. I cannot see the actual picture due to firewall issues at work). Unicode has a character that does R-to-L printing for any characters after it. I've seen it do weird things on places like Kuro5hin.org and MetaFilter

Huh really? Haven't heard of that before.

Ah yes, I think you're right, he put that symbol in his username or something.

Aha. I thought that symbol was strange, but I didn't bother to look it up. Silly me. Interesting.

It doesn't display for me, many fancy ones don't on my Mac/Firefox. Oh well.

[xoder.livejournal.com]

It's in his "Name" field. Check the userinfo.

Yeah, I saw the question mark, but I'm assuming it looks like something to other people. I'm on a Mac/Firefox and not even the "heart" symbol displays for me for some reason.

I've seen this on facebook groups lists, for some reason.
