Thanks for reporting this @twofoursixeight. Judging by the effect that this unicode character has on text, the flag reason is showing as expected there, even if it does appear garbled - it’s showing the text as it was typed by the user. It also appears that the watched words are being flagged correctly, despite the backwards writing, so I don’t know if this is a bug as such.

Aside from the text appearing backwards in the flag reason (which is as expected, given the existence of the unicode character), is there anything else problematic here?
