‬‭‮‪‫‬‭‮҉ Found something interesting!!!

Lol..The title of this post actually reads "Found something interesting!!!" backwards..

I found this on Warez-bb..And found it to be absolutely cool! This SYMBOL,called the COMBINING CYRILLIC MILLIONS SIGN,makes characters go backward as you type them.I;ve pasted the symbol and image below.As soon as I paste this image in the post,the text after the symbol goes berserk and starts getting printed backwards.Note that all commands,like Backspace,Home,End,etc ec are also affected.The technical name's U+202B RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING Font.

This is not a virus.It is a simple Unicode character.And..it was designed by The Unicode Organization for Microsoft.Why the heck would MS do something crazy like this(apart from inventing Windows :)) ?Think of fonts that would require right to left writing,like the ancient Arabic language.We mus realise that the computer is meant for all;it should transcend all language and regional barriers.

Go here to get the Unicode info about this fascinating symbol:

Wikipedia's entry on Bi Directional text:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_control_characters#Bidirectional_text_control

Copy and paste this symbol on any forum/google search/browser.It wont work on notepad or wordpad.The text will appear backwards as you type! If you want,just test it here by posting a comment for this post!


THE SYMBOL:
