That seems a bit dangerous for my daily driver, so I did an experiment. I copied שלום from Firefox into Konsole, and it displayed backwards as I would should it have been program output. Then I copied سلا (that should be salam, but I don't know why I can't paste the Mem at the end) to Konsole as well. Sure enough, the Shin was to the left, but interestingly the L-Aleph was properly connected! Then another Aleph to the right of that. There was no Mem in Konsole, either, I cannot seem to copy that critter. So I think that the knowledge of whether or not Arabic is displayed in connected characters in the console is answered. In broken LTR implementations, the letters are shown as if they are all by themselves. Special combinations, such as LA, have the Lamed replaced with the combined letter glyph, and then the real second letter after (to the right of) it.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
