That's possible, but it has a couple of disadvantages:
- If the user inserts an exclam into an already existing text, and
if the current input method is not for a R2L language, the exclam
will go to a wrong place. This might confuse users, because they
don't expect a key such as `!' to behave differently in different
situations.
- Text which comes from a source that is not the keyboard cannot be
treated that way. And since not all applications support RLM and
other Unicode special characters, this is a real problem.
Therefore, I'd prefer this case to be handled correctly
automatically. I cannot understand why doesn't UTR9 handle the exclam
like this by default. Can you tell?

Why would you need embedding in a visual buffer?
