Description Samy Alzhrani 2020-04-09 21:49:07 PDT 
When an html element starts with an Emoji, it is treated as having a strong LTR direction regardless of what follows.

for example the following p tag should have a base direction of RTL since all the text other than the emoji is RTL
<p dir="auto">😁عربي</p>
