I know I'm being pedantic, but I just want to point out that even U+200E/U+200F are generally not needed. If you put a Hebrew word in the middle of an English sentence, it displays correctly all by itself. This is due to the Unicode bidirectional algorithm, which defines a super sensible default behavior. You only need the RTL control characters in weird circumstances, perhaps ones involving punctuation marks or unusual uses of special characters.
