Text direction with print or println in Swift for mixed text

Question

I am attempting to print a string with a hebrew character "א - aleph is a silent..." using println or print functions in Swift. The simple code below has an output with the first character printed right-to-left (RTL) and the rest of the text left-to-right (LTR). How can I change this so it is all printed LTR.

Thanks in advance.

var content:String="\u{05D0} - aleph is a silent consonant - however it is pronounced as a, o, e, i or u based on the vowel used."

println(content)

Output should be:

א - aleph is a silent consonant - however it is pronounced as a, o, e, i or u based on the vowel used.

However the hebrew character is printed on the right of the line.

Answer 1

It looks like I found the answer. Adding "\u{200E}", the Left to Right Mark before the character resolves the issue.
