+Subject: [PATCH] backend/kodakio.c: Remove unnecessary Unicode character
+
+There is an bidirectional Unicode character <202d> in the comment.
+The character looks like a typo, because it does not look fitting
+there, so IMHO it can be removed.
+
+Checking tools like rpminspect are wary of Unicode characters in the
+code after CVE regarding bidirectional Unicode characters from several
+years ago, and character <202d> is for left-to-right override in
+Unicode, so tools report them as an issue.
