Yes and I'm sure it does display it properly: the proper way is to make
it disappear, as it is a special direction changing character and not a
normal character.
This is where emacs needs to step in and give the user a way to be aware
his file contains such things.
Just like whitespace mode makes one aware one has whitespace.
I'll see if whitespace.el will fill my needs...
