  • Update the “About” modal in src/components/modals/AboutModel.tsx

  • If the language’s letters are made of multiple unicode characters, use a grapheme splitter at various points throughout the app or normalize the input so that all of the letters are made of a single character
  • If the language is written right-to-left, add dir="rtl" to the HTML tag in public/index.html and prepend \u202E (the unicode right-to-left override character) to the return statement of the inner function in generateEmojiGrid in src/lib/share.ts
