Unicode’s UTS #35 transliteration rules are Turing-complete, meaning your phone’s text rendering engine can compute any algorithm — including infinite loops. A researcher proved it using just three rules to run Collatz. This hidden computer inside every OS threatens security and demands a new standard for standards.

Right-to-left decorative characters exploit Unicode’s bidirectional algorithm to silently alter text rendering—creating invisible bugs, breaking logic, and hiding malicious payloads. Most engineers treat Unicode as safe, but these ‘decorative’ glyphs are injection vectors. Here’s how to recognize and neutralize them before they sabotage your code.
