Unicode doesn't have a concept of string reversal, which means that arguably there is no such thing as a palindrome

I don't believe Unicode should waste any time defining string reversal. I can't think of a single reason it's genuinely needed or used
Other than, as I said, palindromes. Which are kind of a toy, invented problem, so better suited for having its own toy rules/constraints

Absolutely. Palindromes are toys for English, but may not even make sense in other languages.

Examples of Arabic palindromes I've found (e.g. بلح تعلق تحت قلعة حلب) don't look reflected to me, thanks to ligatures?
