Only issue with @BrianS answer is that left-to-right characters in the line are displayed right-to-left. This is how I solved it (in my case the check is for Hebrew characters):

// check if the line contains Hebrew characters from the start too
// to avoid flipping dates etc.
if( strtolower( $style -> direction ) == 'rtl' && preg_match( "/\p{Hebrew}/u", $text ) ):

    preg_match_all('/./us', $text, $ar);

    // reverse the whole line
    $text = join('',array_reverse($ar[0]));

    // flip english back to ltr
    $words = explode( ' ', $text );
    foreach( $words as $i => $word ):
        if( !preg_match( "/\p{Hebrew}/u", $word ) ):
            $words[$i] = implode( '', array_reverse( str_split( $word ) ) );
        endif;
    endforeach;

    $text = implode( ' ', $words );

endif;
