And that's probably the easiest part.  Think of right-to-left writing

I don't know what supporting Hebrew would entail overall, but I
think it's fair to say that OpenBSD doesn't support it.  Some
applications running on OpenBSD may deal with it to some degree,
e.g., try Firefox with the Hebrew Wikipedia.

I am willing to guess that with something like Hebrew, OpenBSD has all the 
necessary support for the system, but, most common applications do not have 
support for the right-to-left way of writing. There should be no problem 
actually getting file names into hebrew form, because that should just be an 
encoding issue, and you need the right fonts to be able to display Hebrew 
glyphs. On the other hand, not all applications are going to support filenames 
written like that, and even less applications are going to know how to write 
Hebrew.

If you use Emacs, I am fairly confident that you can get hebrew working on it, 
for basic editing and all the good stuff. KDE and some of the others may have 
input editors that will allow you to do things on their level, but overall, 
you'll have to very carefully pick and choose applications, because you won't 
find blankent compatibility.

GNOME and all GTK+ programs should work with r-t-l scripts rather good.
