unicode-bidi side-effect of coloured bar numbers becoming misaligned in Chrome/Firefox

[jrwishart]

The addition of "unicode-bidi" = "plaintext" in 4de31bb to fix placement of symbols has an undesirable side-affect where in some browsers it breaks the direction of text causing RTL alignment to change to LTR.

Above is a screenshot of output on different web browsers with versions with manual hack removing the unicode-bidi attribute from the table.

Source of output also available here at JSfiddle

Minimal reproduceable example is given with

library(formattable)
library(tibble)
test_tbl = tribble(~colA, ~colB, ~colC, ~colD, ~Test, ~Behaviour,
                   "a",    1000,  1001,  1002, 22.28,   "Good",
                   "b",    2000,  2001,  2002, 15.53,   "Good",
                   "c",    3000,  3001,  3002,  4.48,  "Browser dependent",
                   "d",    4000,  4001,  4002,  8.27,  "Browser dependent")
formattable(test_tbl, list(`Test` = color_bar("#FA614B")))

As an update on this, you can avoid these alignment problems by not using "unicode-bidi" = "plaintext" but instead prepending the cell contents with the left-to-right mark. (Use the unicode \u200e instead of the html entity).
