All the mechanism of keyboards, layouts and character maps serve to generate a single character. It has no idea of LTR or RTL. That's the business of the editor that you're typing to.

Anytime I've tried to play with RTL I get confused and don't know what's going on.

Have you tried using the LTR marker too?

I can't understand your examples because I don't know the order that you're hitting the keys. Can you reduce this to an example of 3 keystrokes in an empty buffer that is different for soft keyboard vs hard keyboard?
