Feature Request

The Mongolian writing system is written top to bottom, then left to right. It's letters have contextual forms (initial, medial, and final) much like Arabic. It would be great if these could be rendered correctly in an SVG, but the letters do not appear correctly. To fix, this requires addressing the following two problems:

Firstly, the letters render facing the wrong way. This is easily fixable by adding rotate:90 to the props.

Secondly, the letters do not connect properly. On iOS this comes out as disconnected letters next to each other, then the rotation happens so it is not legible. On Android, this is coming out as all the letters overlapping with each other (even worse).

It seems that the zero-width joiner u+200d is not being handled properly.
