a fun cosmetic feature is that you can write in any direction you want, provided you mirror/rotate the glyphs accordingly and indicate a change in direction with an arrow. if no arrow is present, assume the previous line's reading direction. if there is no arrow or previous line, assume left-to-right. | |||
