Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked shields.io endpoint in Safari and Firefox, comparing its SVG output with Chrome, Chromium, and Edge. Trace where the Hebrew badge text is rendered and identify the browser-specific direction or mirroring behavior. Done means the linked badge displays Hebrew correctly in Safari and Firefox without regressing the other browsers.
