The Select Statement and the Reverse Function in SQL

I found out today something quite peculiar, which I didn't know up till now.

I have a table which has codes and names in it. The names are in Hebrew and need to be reversed. The table should have rows in it only if there exists a description for the code. It shouldn't have codes in it that don't have a description. This is my select statement and its result:

Which was weird, because why would I have a blank line for a code? I shouldn't have a line for it at all in that case. Still, I needed to reverse the description as the Hebrew description should be read the other way around. So I did another select statement using the reverse function this time, and got this:

The "Pratim" field (the description) is of data type varchar, and the data in the row for the specific row I'm looking at begins with junk:

It seems that when you run a reverse function in SQL on a field of varchar which begins with junk, the result pane sees the junk first and shows you empty data. At the same time, if you run a reverse function in SQL on a varchar filed and the data in it ends with junk, then you get the up side of the same behavior as you get the data with the junk omitted.

I was amused to see the quirks that certain data can create quirks on a reverse function in such a simple "select" statement. Even more so, I enjoyed seeing how every minus will also have its plus…
