I can't imagine a situation where this would matter for plain text.
I suppose one could use the ECMA-48 / ISO 6429
SPD (Select Presentation Direction) control sequence, but that
is hardly plain text, altho it isn't quite markup either.

This message may be out of topic, but it's something which causes me troubles
when trying to configure IE to display text written with the Burmese/Myanmerese
(and Tagalog as well) script.
Apparently IE has a bug in the way it maps these two scripts with appropriate
fonts, so that I can only select

Scripts used by Urdu, Panjabi and Bengali are all supported in Unicode.
Urdu can be written using naskh-style Arabic (supported on WinXP,
Win2K...), but users strongly prefer nastaliq. The latter is supported
by the Uniscribe shaping engine; MS has not yet shipped any nastaliq
fonts, but some are
Be careful here, for Unicode support in the browser (at least
Netscape/Mozilla) there are some code fork between 2000/XP and Win98/ME.

To add to the confusion, the ECMA-334 standard writes in its reference PDF (page

This clause is informative.
(...)
The name C# is pronounced "C Sharp".
The name C# is written as the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C (U+0043) followed
by the NUMBER SIGN # (U+000D).

Why not? Windows 98 and ME are still in use today, and can work on more limited
PCs, unlike 2000/XP which requires a newer PC. If you're targetting a population
