Research direction
The issue reports specific icons being flipped in RTL mode. Examine the UI components or CSS files that handle icon rendering, such as icon definitions or RTL overrides. Look for classes or styles that control icon orientation. Use the provided screenshots to identify the affected icons, then add a CSS rule to correctly orient them for RTL (e.g., using transform: scaleX( 1) or direction property). Check the repository for existing RTL handling patterns.
