--- Comment #2 from خالد حسني <khaled at aliftype.com> ---
HTML has <bdi> and <bdo> elements, which work the same as the control
characters, in case ODF wanted to grew a similar functionality.

For showing the control characters, I this showing the illustration glyphs
might not be easy as we can’t get them from the fonts (most fonts will have
blank glyphs for them, if they have glyphs at all). But if there is a way to
draw something like this on the screen, that would be good. may be give it the
same color as other visible formatting characters.

For insertion, we can add them to the menu next to the others.
