  text-align: left;
  direction: rtl;
}
.r {
  text-align: right;
}

  width: 150px;
  overflow: hidden;

Set the direction CSS property to match the direction of the text: rtl for languages written from right-to-left (like Hebrew or Arabic) text and ltr for other scripts. This is typically done as part of the document (e.g., using the dir attribute in HTML) rather than through direct use of CSS.
