RTL (and bidi) languages are written in strings so that the character
order is the logical, reading, order. That is, the character "nearer
to the beginning of the string" is the first one to be read by a human
reader (so, such character would be displayed on the right for a RTL
language, on the left for a LTR language, at the top for a TTB language)

Short answer: your implementation is right :)

You possess a mind not merely twisted, but actually sprained.
