This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. Its been available across browsers since August 2023.
The dirName property of the HTMLInputElement interface is the directionality of the element and enables the submission of that value. It reflects the value of the <input> element's dirName attribute. This property can be retrieved or set.
Valid only for hidden, text, search, url, tel, and email <input> types, the dirname attribute controls how the element's directionality is submitted. When included, the form control will submit with two name/value pairs: the first being the name and value, and the second being the value of the dirname attribute as the name, with a value of ltr or rtl as set by the browser.
A string. The direction of the element.
inputElement.dirName = "rtl";
