U+2067 "" Right-to-Left Isolate Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2067 "" Right-to-Left Isolate is a formatting control character used in bidirectional text to treat its enclosed content as an isolated, right-to-left run without affecting the surrounding directional context. Unlike stronger directional overrides, this invisible character ensures that the text within its scope is displayed from right to left according to its own inherent directionality, while preventing its layout from influencing the arrangement of adjacent characters. It works in conjunction with its counterpart, the Left-to-Right Isolate (U+2066), and the Pop Directional Isolate (U+2069) to enable precise handling of mixed-script text, such as when embedding a short Arabic phrase inside an English sentence.
