How to invert direction of brackets (for a right to left text) for arabic language

Question

When I am trying to use brackets in Arabic language, they are getting reversed as shown in the attached Screenshot .
I have tried using textDirection RTL and BidiFormatter, but none of them works.
The correct string is something like this "(باقة مسافر إسبوعي (مسبق".
Does anyone know, how to solve it?

Sorry i do not see that something is reversed. Please post a picture how you want it instead too. — greenapps, Jun 25 '14 at 17:49

@Melebius this worked perfectly for me. Took whole day to get here. I had the same problem that the brackets/parentheses were misplaced in urdu/hindi/arabic localisation. After putting (\u200E) got the right string with properly placed parentheses. P.S - I am trying to include all the keywords so that one might find it easily. – Momin Khan Oct 29 '19 at 15:03
