<p><font face="Candara">How about telling them that changing the
visual direction of any arrow is a no-no(*) and if you transform
text, you need to ensure that it stays as intended? <br>

arrows have logical directions, but you can't retroactively
switch to new characters, because then you'd mess up any search
and comparison. <br>
