The last punctuation mark of any block of text ends up being placed at the beginning of the last line in that block of text. This seems to have only been a problem since I created a child theme for the site. I had initially included an empty functions.php file in that child theme, but after noticing the problem I removed the file in hopes that it would resolve itself. That didn't do anything, however. Any ideas why this is happening? 

Update: I've found that the issue is coming from the rtl.css stylesheet for Arabic use. I included it in my child theme css import because I was unsure of what it was. I initially tried overwriting the css from that file using direction: ltr !important; in my child theme css file, but that didn't work. So I just deleted the entire rtl.css file and deleted the line of code linking to it in my child theme css file. I've hard refreshed my browser, but for some reason the rtl.css file is still showing up when I inspect the element and so the issue persists. Not sure where to go from here.

I found that CloudFlare was caching the files. So I refreshed caching there and that fixed the problem.
