- Research direction
- Investigate the rendering logic in MapSCII, likely in the core JavaScript files responsible for outputting text to the console. The bug is that Arabic city names appear reversed, indicating a missing handling of bidirectional text (BiDi). Look at how strings are printed and consider applying Unicode BiDi algorithm (e.g., using the 'bidi' or 'unicode bidi' CSS like properties, or manually detecting RTL characters). Check if there are any open or closed PRs related to this issue and review the comments for additional context. The fix likely involves detecting Arabic characters and ensuring proper display order in console output.
