Description
The Notes app creates a text file. Most local text editors adhere to some standards concerning Right-To-Left text: starting a RTL line if the first character is in a RTL language, adhering to RTL determining character ->() and so on. This doesn't work on the Note online editor. It shows the text LTR no matter what.
A workaround is just using a different local editor (and the android editor presumably implements some standard code, so it doesn't have this problem).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the web app's online editor with RTL text, including lines beginning with RTL characters and bidirectional determining characters. Compare the result with the Android editor's behavior. Done means the web editor follows expected RTL direction and mixed-direction text displays correctly, with relevant coverage added if the project provides it.
