~~{{anchor|PUA and RTL}}~~The only invisible characters in the editable text should be spaces and tabs. However, other invisible characters are often inserted inadvertently by pasting from a word processor. These can cause confusion with editors and handling problems with editing software. Any necessary invisible or [[Private Use Area]] (PUA) characters should be substituted with their decimal or hexadecimal code values ~~(that is, as <code>&{{var|...}};</code>)~~ so that they can be edited properly. ~~A template, {{tl|PUA}}, is used to mark PUA characters; it has no effect on the text, but places the article in a tracking category. {{crossref|(See the next sections for examples.)}}~~

~~{{shortcut|MOS:RTL|MOS:LTR}}~~

When right-to-left text is embedded in certain left-to-right contexts, such as when tagged with a reference, it may require control characters to display properly. The marker to return to left-to-right text should be encoded as [[Left-to-right mark|<code>&lrm;</code>]] or supplied through the template {{tlx|Rtl-lang}}.
