About this character

U+2069 is POP DIRECTIONAL ISOLATE, an invisible format character in the General Punctuation block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 6.3 (2013).

It is invisible. It changes how surrounding text is processed or displayed but has no glyph of its own, which makes it easy to paste by accident.

It is a default-ignorable codepoint: when a font or renderer does not support it, it should be displayed as nothing at all rather than as a missing-glyph box.

Common abbreviation: PDI.
