Description:

In the Arabic locale (ar), the L date format includes Right-to-Left Mark characters (RLM, U+200F). These characters are intended to control text direction, but in Arabic typography, numbers and dates are written left-to-right and should not have their direction altered.

Including RLM in the format produces several problems:

• The RLM characters are unnecessary for correct Arabic formatting.
• When rendered in HTML, these hidden characters often cause the order of day, month, and year to appear incorrectly.
• This results in dates being visually reordered or misaligned depending on the surrounding text direction.

Expected behavior:
The Arabic locale format L should not contain RLM characters. Dates should display naturally without forcing direction changes.

Example:
Current L format (simplified):

"D[U+200F]/M[U+200F]/YYYY"

Suggested correction:

"D/M/YYYY"
