Also, some characters are not mentioned in the table (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=112798), e.g. RLO, LRO, RLE, LRE, PDF and that's just ones I can mention off the top of my head. So, one wonders how that's marked as fixed. Having said that - even if these characters were somehow marked - this feature would still be useful, because: 1. Many users would not be able to distinguish between the markings 2. Many users don't know what these characters mean, even if told their names. 3. The user might not want to retain all of these characters. In this sense, removing non-printing/non-keyboard-insertable/atypical characters is a bit like clearing direct formatting, or resetting capitalization to small caps etc. It's not something you necessarily want to do, but sometimes it's just the right tool.
