The parentheses embedded in parentheses are kind of hard to read. This seems like a place where we should have a direction pseudo-class, and then just use a different image (or have  image transformation properties for list-style-images, border-images, etc.).

ul:ltr {
 list-style-image: url("right-facing-arrow.jpg");
}
ul:rtl {
 list-style-image: url("left-facing-arrow.jpg"); 
} /* or... */
ul:rtl {
 list-style-image-transform: reflect(0deg); 
}  /* or, transformation is automatic for directions not specified by author */
