Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]RLM U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK (‏)
Usage
{{rlm}} adds an invisible character with strong R-to-L directionality. It has the same effect as when adding a straight Hebrew letter: all weak and neutral characters (numbers, punctuation) following this mark are supposed to be in R-to-L direction. Following means: in logical, or entering, or time, order. The character solves ambiguous situations, when punctuation characters are between R-to-L and L-to-R scripts.
