The Style unicodeBidi property in HTML DOM is used with direction property to determine how multi-directional text is displayed. It overrides the default Unicode algorithm and gives the developer access to control text embedding.
Syntax:
- It returns the unicodeBidi property.
object.style.unicodeBidi
- It is used to set the unicodeBidi property.
object.style.unicodeBidi = "embed|bidi-override|normal|initial| inherit"
Return Values: It returns a string value, which represents the level of embedding with respect to the bidirectional algorithm.
Property Values:
1. embed: This value is used to create an additional level of embedding.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
DOM Style unicodeBidi Property
</title>
<style>
.content {
direction: rtl;
unicode-bidi: bidi-override;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

2. bidi-override: This value is used to create an additional level of embedding. It also reorders the text based on the direction specified on the direction property.
Example:
