How about a TENGWAR INVISIBLE DECIMAL UNITS DIGIT MARK ? Tengwar-unaware applications should just render it visible. It would allow tengwar-aware applications to do some extra reordering _after_ bidi did its work, rendering the units to the left for a Quenya locale, but to the right for a Klingon locale.
