BiDi Control Override Detection: Flags dangerous bidirectional control codes like Right-to-Left Override (U+202E), Left-to-Right Override (U+202D), and embedding characters (U+202A–U+202C).
Prevents visual deception attacks where malicious code appears as a comment to humans but executes as active code in compilers.
2. 👻 Invisible & Zero-Width Character Scanner
Detects Zero-Width Characters: Identifies Zero-Width Space (U+200B), Zero-Width Non-Joiner (U+200C), Zero-Width Joiner (U+200D), and embedded Byte Order Marks (U+FEFF).
Solves phantom syntax errors where code looks identical to valid syntax but fails compilation.
One-Click Cleaner: Strip all invisible characters from your active file with a single command (Bidi Guard: Clean & Strip Invisible Characters).
3. 🎭 Homoglyph / Confusable Detection
Flags confusing characters like the Greek Question Mark (U+037E) which looks identical to an ASCII semicolon (;) but breaks parsers.
Quick Fix: Replace with standard ASCII semicolon in one click.
4. 📖 Bidirectional Arabic & RTL Comment Reader
Hovering over comments containing Arabic ([\u0600-\u06FF]) or Hebrew ([\u0590-\u05FF]) renders a clean right-to-left preview.
Bidirectional Isolation: Prevents English terms, code identifiers (e.g. Docker, PostgreSQL, process.env), and punctuation from flipping to the wrong side of the sentence!
