bidi algorithm (for right-to-left Unicode characters)

[Flimm]

Unicode provides a bunch of characters, that are needed when using bidirectional text, that is when mixing right-to-left text with left-to-right text. Almost all languages that right-to-left text will need to mix it with left-to-right text on occasion (for example, when adding URLs or numbers).

W3C have this GitHub website that documents the support for the Unicode bidi algorithm in different browsers: https://w3c.github.io/i18n-tests/results/bidi-algorithm

Thanks @Schweinepriester . The issue #996 is about the CSS properties direction and unicode-bidi. Whereas this issue is about the support for Unicode special characters like U+202B. If you read this document explaining these special characters, it says things like:

at the time of writing browsers still don't support RLI/LRI,

It would be useful to know which browsers do support the Unicode bidi algorithm completely, including these special characters.
