It depends on character that all 4 shapes are different or not. If we assume
the character have these 4 shapes then yes, w and o are isolated and rd is
initial+final.

Maybe. I tested it and works in this form:
1.<RTL MARK>2.<RTL MARK>3. Text
But I think the main thing in there is that we should be able to change
intermediate characters, what is not possible currently. Am I right?
