Markdown is plain Unicode text, so any script that your reader's system can render will display correctly. No special syntax is needed. Right-to-left scripts require a dir="rtl" attribute on their containing element to render in the correct direction.
Modern operating systems include system fonts for the most widely used scripts. Noto fonts from Google are loaded here for less common scripts where system support is less reliable.
