DS-260 name in Arabic

[HKAA 13]

On the DS-260 form it asks for name in native language. When I try to copy/paste, it puts the name backwards due to the fact that Arabic is read right to left and the form is defaulted left to right. Should I just skip this? Is it a big deal to skip it?

I'd just type it in instead of copying and pasting.

Type it backwards? So for example, if somebody's name was EMMA, and when inputting that it changed it to AMME, I'd just type it in backwards so it read correctly. 

 

But I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it's perfectly common with Arabic and other right to left languages.

yeah Arabic doesn't work like english. The characters are additive and change when they are next to one another. 

Im just gonna send it without it. I just hoped someone that's native language is Arabic would have an idea, or tell me what they did.
