Bidirectional Class - Left To Right Embedding
Unicode Version 18.0
Left To Right Embedding is a directional formatting code used in text to explicitly set a segment of content as left to right, overriding the automatic bidirectional algorithm. When encountered, it treats the enclosed text as embedded left to right, even if surrounding characters are right to left, such as Hebrew or Arabic. This embedding does not affect the overall paragraph direction but creates a nested level where left to right ordering is enforced, allowing mixed-direction content to display correctly. It is typically invisible to users and acts as a control character, with a matching pop directional formatting code to end its scope.
