  FWIW, I'm not sure I understand all the implications, but I think this sounds like \
a good idea. But I have two questions:  
  - Will these characters also be needed for LTR languages?
  - And would it be possible to make the feature backwards compatible with older \
versions of Qt, e.g. only include the isolation characters for Qt ≥ 5.11?
