@BobStein fair joke actually. TBH, I landed here trying to work out a way which I could offer to our Hebrew translators so that they could insert U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARKER whenever appropriate. Myself, no problem with Unicode. They... nah. The best I have so far is telling "open the .po file in Notepad++, find the string, put \xE2\x80\x8F after the brace/paren/exclaim, now it'll render right-to-left properly". I wish I could distill any humor out of that.

Making visible some invisible characters.

Spawning a proper charmap app is way closer to "perfect answer". | |
