imo, on RTL, all of the icons (or at least all of the arrow icons) should be mirrored..
So, counter intuitively, arrow-forward would be arrow-back, arrow-dropleft to be arrow-dripright etc..

Hello, thanks for using Ionic! We really appreciate this feedback on RTL support. This is not currently high priority for us at the moment, but we are tracking it in #5035. Because of this I am going to close this issue as a duplicate of that issue and ask that you put your feedback on that issue. Please know that by me closing this issue I am not saying that your feedback is not important, or that RTL support is not important, but I am simply closing this issue as we like to keep our issues as organized as possible so things do not get lost in the weeds (which is better said than done haha).
