Right-to-Left Mark (U+200F) character Copy and Paste
The Right-to-Left Mark (U+200F) is an invisible Unicode control character used to enforce right-to-left (RTL) text direction. It does not appear visually but strongly affects how text is rendered when languages like Arabic, Urdu, Persian, or Hebrew are mixed with left-to-right (LTR) content such as English words or numbers.
Without proper direction control, mixed-language text can appear broken, reordered, or confusing. The Right-to-Left Mark ensures that text flows correctly from right to left without adding visible characters or spaces.
