In the screenshot, the line highlighted in blue has the aleph in Hebrew alphabet.
Thank you as well.

Sorry if I wasn't specific enough. I meant pasting the code into the forums using [CODE][/CODE] (when you are writing your post in the Advanced Reply, the button looks like a #):

Code:
<p class="equation">Example e = mc<sup>2</sup></p>
Or just creating a little EPUB to show off the problem and attaching it to a post so others can test the problem much easier.

There are a whole lot of things that could have been the problem here:

It could be you used the wrong character (which seems to be the case, as pdurrant and Doitsu pointed out).

It could actually be a bug in Sigil.

It could be you had the EPUB's or HTML's lang marked improperly. Or you accidentally had CSS "direction: rtl;" somewhere.

Could have been invisible Unicode characters lurking in your code.

Or the STIX Fonts:

That font probably includes every single maths character you would ever need. (It is one of the few that also handles actual OpenType Math.)
