<p>Finally, most scripts, when written horizontally, proceed from left-to-right. However, some scripts, such as Arabic and Hebrew, are written predominently from right-to-left. Texts can be written in a mix of these scripts or include character sequences, such as numbers or quotes in another script, that run in the opposite direction to other parts of the text. This intermixing of text direction is called <em>bidirectional</em> text or <q>bidi</q> for short. The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm [[UAX9]] describes how such mixed-direction text is processed for display. For most text, the directional handling can be derived from the text itself.

<p>One of the ways that Unicode defines to address the ambiguity of text direction are a set of invisible control characters to
mark the start and end of directional runs. While bidirectional controls can have an affect on the appearance of the text
(since they help the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm with the presentation of text), they might have no effect on the
text if the text would naturally have fallen into bidirectional runs without the controls. Because these controls are, like the characters
mentioned above, invisible, they can have an unintentional effect on matching.
