Description

In https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/8066 we disabled Unicode directional isolate characters because they cause issues with the tests.

This issue is a reminder that we have to find a solution to keep those characters disabled for the tests, but to re-enable them otherwise.

Research direction

Review PR #8066 and the tests that motivated disabling U+2068 and U+2069 first; identify the test-only path versus normal output path. Done means the characters remain disabled in tests while being re-enabled otherwise, with the relevant tests passing.
