From the HTML spec: The heuristic used by the [Auto](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#attr-dir-auto-state) state is very crude (it just looks at the first character with a strong directionality, in a manner analogous to the Paragraph Level determination in the bidirectional algorithm). Authors are urged to only use this value as a last resort when the direction of the text is truly unknown and no better server-side heuristic can be applied.
