Salam,

If you are referring to the Bidi ordering codes, then they are:

----------------------------------------------
| Code   | Name | Full Name                  |
----------------------------------------------
| U+200E | LRM  | Left-to-right mark         |                           
| U+200F | RLM  | Right-to-left mark         |
| U+202A | LRE  | Left-to-right embedding    |
| U+202B | RLE  | Right-to-left embedding    |
| U+202C | PDF  | Pop directional formatting |
| U+202D | RLO  | Left-to-right override     |
| U+202E | LRO  | Right-to-left override     |
----------------------------------------------

You might probably want to refer to the Unicode Standard, especially
chapters 8, 13 and 3. I hope that helps.
