Why is this a KDE bug?

Typing RLE seems rather pointless if you can't also type PDF (RLE starts
an embedding of right-to-left text, PDF ends it).

But could you give an example where you'd actually prefer to use
RLE/LRE/PDF to RLM/LRM?

BTW: you can always map three extra keys on the keyboard to provide RLE,
LRE and PDF. Just like RLM and LRM are defined in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/il (look for 'LRM'). e.g. use finalmem,
finalnun and finalkaph .
