I'm seeing some strange characters in web responses eg
u'\u200e28\u200e/\u200e09\u200e/\u200e1962'
for a date of birth. The code \u200e is LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK according to
unicodedata.name. I tried unicodedata.normalize, but it leaves those characters
there. Is there any standard way to deal with these?
I assume that some browser+settings combination is putting these in eg perhaps
the language is normally right to left but numbers are not.
