A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

U+202E and U+202C are control characters that change the direction of the text (see also https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1137:_RTL)
In order to be able to type them, you can use HTML entities: https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_symbols.asp
You can write any Unicode character like that, for example
abecomes a.
