DESCRIPTION

12       bicon.bin  is  a  console program that supports bidirectional text dis‐
13       play, for languages like Arabic, Persian and Hebrew.
14
15       bicon.bin hooks into the I/O of the current console to  display  proper
16       directed  text  using  the Unicode BiDi algorithm. Proper directed here
17       includes shaping and joining.
18
19       bicon.bin does not load the keymap or font. Use bicon(1) to get  proper
20       support for your BiDi language, including loading your keymap and font.
