I think you should take a step back and ask yourself how you came up to
the problem.

If this is a static string, simply place an LRM after the closing
bracket, and the problem is solved.

If this is a string put together by program, your processing might need
to be a little more subtle, depending on the precise context. For a
simple example, a program that puts together an email address should do
this: ("%s ‎<%s‎>", name, address). This ensures that,
regardless of what language the name and/or the email address is in, the
brackets do not go all crazy. Of course, this only works assuming that
the paragraph direction is LTR.
