The Hidden Danger of Right-to-Left Decorative Characters in Web Typography

The footgun of right-to-left decorative characters

I discovered that using the Manichaean Punctuation Fleuron as a decorative separator caused unexpected text reordering due to its right-to-left bidirectional type. This Unicode quirk rearranges surrounding digits and text, but the issue is easily fixed by wrapping the character in a <bdi> tag or applying specific CSS to isolate its directionality.
