Nice way to draw attention, I was like "wtf...". Nice!

I entered the title by copying & paste from my iPad. It seems that the Unicode character was carried over. Interesting!

Funny! And coool trick. Wonder how long does it take for others to start hacking titles with that trick :)

Just for content: It's remarkable how some things like these are not tested routinely, since it's hard to tell for non-native speakers to find issues!

    <style> * { text-replace: "\202e" ""; } </style>

Well, I think that would work, anyway.

If you inspect the title of the comic with Firebug it shows up as:

    <div id="ctitle"><vid/>RTL

Fun stuff.

I feel like there should have been a better solution to RTL/LTR annotation. Stuff like this makes me wish that there would be some well-defined subset of Unicode which would be less pita to handle.
