@mei ok, now I'm legit wondering why the hell there isn't a rotate code point. Sure, it'd be a bitch to implement, but so is the rest of Unicode.

@mei can I suggest also a rotate-by-90-degrees code point, which would also then account for Malta as well as various combinations of tricolour flags.

@mei Arabic has snakes built right in! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashida LaTeX even supports it (because _of course_ it does). https://andreasmhallberg.github.io/stretchable-kashida/
