Please add these Unicode characters to the list:

  • U+202C: POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING
  • U+202D: LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE
  • U+202E: RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE

These are zero-width characters that control text direction.

There are a lot of other characters in the Unicode "Other, Format" category that should be treated similarly: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/Cf/list.htm

@MLKrisJohnson hello, sorry for the very late answer, trying to catch up on all opened issues.

These would be useful indeed, but I would like to make Gremlins easily configurable before, so that people have the opportunity to decide which characters to look for.

Characters now added to the default configuration.
