U+2069 "" Pop Directional Isolate Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2069 "" Pop Directional Isolate is an invisible formatting mark used in bidirectional text to end a section of text that was isolated with a Push Directional Isolate (U+2066, U+2067, or U+2068). It effectively pops the directional isolation context, returning the text direction to whatever was active before the matching push character was encountered, ensuring that nested or complex mixtures of left-to-right and right-to-left scripts display correctly without affecting the surrounding text flow.
