Try "M-x gdb-many-windows RET", maybe you will like the result.

The entry point is bidi_get_next_char_visually.  (See the beginning of
bidi.c for this and other information.)

However, setting a simple breakpoint there will cause that breakpoint
be hit all the time, and will therefore be useless.  Tell me what you
want to do and with what text, and then I might be able to help you do
that in a more useful way.
