Well, how do we expect a JS string such as "\u0633\u06cc\u0628\u002e" to get rendered in the console? I would expect "سیب." rather than ".سیب" as JS is normally treated as a LTR language?

Likewise, I'd expect "<span>\u0633\u06cc\u0628\u002e</span>" to render as "<span>سیب.</span>" (i.e., LTR, which admittedly dir=auto will compute to). Having the two strings put the bidi neutral character in a different place seems bad, as it becomes ambiguous as to what the value of the string is?

Like, is there any case where we'd want to render a JS string as RTL? That seems like that goes against the natural direction of JS?
