But consider the use cases:

        <typing along happily in Arabic>
        <need a U+2323>
        <switch to Latin keyboard>
        <enable magic Unicode mode>
        <type "2 3 2 3">
        <disable magic Unicode mode>
        <switch to Arabic keyboard>
        <try to recover train of thought>
