# misc-misleading-identifier

Finds identifiers that contain Unicode characters with right-to-left direction, which can be confusing as they may change the understanding of a whole statement line, as described in Trojan Source.

An example of such misleading code follows:

    #include <stdio.h>

    short int א = (short int)0;
    short int ג = (short int)12345;

    int main() {
      int א = ג; // a local variable, set to zero?
      printf("ג is %d\n", ג);
      printf("א is %d\n", א);
    }
