There is a simple solution of it. As correct order letters display in reverse order. Why not we write reverse letters? This link will help https://stackoverflow.com/a/13562693/1547539

Just set the encoding : YourWebView.loadData(YourContentHtml, "text/html; charset=UTF-8", null);

I fully understand your issue, you mean:

  [أحمد] Would show as [دمحا]

I am afraid this is not possible, I have seen some post around all confirm that can't be done in the mean time.

Android has the ability to use custom TTFs in views (though it's kind of a kludge, example on how to use custom typefaces in the API Demos), but I'm not sure how to extend this to WebView, or whether it's even possible. custom font with Webview
