The Text System is handling bidirectional scripts based on the Unicode Bidi Algorithm. With the specification, the position of a character is determined by the character's Bidi property. For example, characters inside right-to-left words always flow to the left, and left-to-right words to the right. The base writing direction API controls the general text flow direction in the paragraph. It affects the relationships between words, but not characters inside each word. This is, of course, an over-simplification (there are more to the specification), but you get the idea.
