For the benefit of those who don't have the tools to hand, the relevant part of what Chris wrote, between "think" and "should", is encoded as 0020 202E 0020 05B9 05D0 202C i.e. <space RTL-override space holam alef LTR-override> (and no further space to separate this from "should"). Presumably the intention is to use just <space holam alef> in already RTL text.How would one encode an isolated aleph with a right holam over it, when
explaining fine Hebrew typographical rules?
I think ֹאshould work.
The problem with this is that it necessarily starts with a space, and therefore if it occurs at the start of a line it will be indented when this is not intended. I suppose that this can be overcome by using a zero width space instead. But there may also be breaking implications. Alternatively I might suggest <ZWNJ holam alef>, if that is legal.
