Please note that LRM / RLM are (U+200E / U+200F) 
in stead of (U+202A / U+202B), which are LRE / RLE.


Here are the Bidi Formatting codes in Unicode

Strongly-typed RTL / LTR (invisible) character 
RLM	U+200F	‏ &#8207		RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK
LRM	U+200E 	‎ &#8206		LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK

Bidi Control characters
RLE	U+202B  dir="rtl"	RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING 
LRE	U+202A 	dir="ltr"	LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING
RLO	U+202E 	<bdo dir="rtl">	RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE
LRO	U+202D 	<bdo dir="ltr">	LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE
PDF	U+202C 	nothing </bdo>	POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING


Best regards, Najib
