IMO, both are deficient as they both assume that a string block (text) is either RTL or LTR.
Doesn't that mean we will be --by design-- unable to write something like 'Yom Kippur (יוֹם כִּפּוּר)' on a caption?
This is why I keep asking that the 'TCharacter' or 'TChar' needs to have a language attribute.
