As far as I know, even in languages that are usually written from right
to left, the most significant digit is still written "first" and the
least written "last".
But hey, why worry? I'm communicating with you right now using a code
that still has codepoints resurved for obsolete control signals like
BEL, RS, SYN and EOT...
(Don't get me started on the whole EOL marker thing!)
