Section 20.7.1 has a minor error where it says: ``` A Unicode code point escape lets us specify a code point hexadecimally (1–5 digits). It produces one or two JavaScript...

Note that FSI/PDI (and other isolating controls) have weak support in browsers currently (see https://w3c.github.io/i18n-tests/results/bidi-algorithm#rli_etc). I get very poor results with isolating controls in Chrome, for example. Here's Chrome (left,...
