GNOME Terminal 3.33.3 (VTE 0.57.3) implements BiDi support, according to
the proposal at https://terminal-wg.pages.freedesktop.org/bidi/ .

In alignment with Diego's comments and my responses to them, it
implements multiple modes. Shuffling the characters according to the
BiDi algorithm is enabled by default, this is required for simple
utilities such as "echo", "cat" and friends. An escape sequence can turn
off BiDi in the terminal, to be used if BiDi is performed by the
application running inside.

As mentioned, this won't magically make fullscreen apps (e.g. "mc")
BiDi-aware, it's impossible without adding this feature to all those
applications.
