.. py:function:: ak.str.reverse(array, *, highlevel=True, behavior=None, attrs=None)


    :param array: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).
    :param highlevel: If True, return an :py:obj:`ak.Array`; otherwise, return
                  a low-level :py:obj:`ak.contents.Content` subclass.
    :type highlevel: bool
    :param behavior: Custom :py:obj:`ak.behavior` for the output array, if
                 high-level.
    :type behavior: None or dict
    :param attrs: Custom attributes for the output array, if
              high-level.
    :type attrs: None or dict

Reverses the order of Unicode characters in any string-valued data.
(This function operates on Unicode codepoints, not grapheme clusters.
Hence, it will not correctly reverse grapheme clusters composed of
multiple codepoints.)

Reverses the order of bytes in any bytestring-valued data.

Note: this function does not raise an error if the ``array`` does not
contain any string or bytestring data.

Requires the pyarrow library and calls
`pyarrow.compute.utf8_reverse <https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.compute.utf8_reverse.html>`__
or
`pyarrow.compute.binary_reverse <https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.compute.binary_reverse.html>`__
on strings and bytestrings, respectively.
