+misc-misleading-identifier
+==========================
+
+Finds identifiers that contain Unicode characters with right-to-left direction,
+which can be confusing as they may change the understanding of a whole statement
+line, as described in `Trojan Source <https://trojansource.codes>`_.
+
+An example of such misleading code follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    #include <stdio.h>
+
+    short int א = (short int)0;
+    short int ג = (short int)12345;
+
+    int main() {
+      int א = ג; // a local variable, set to zero?
+      printf("ג is %d\n", ג);
+      printf("א is %d\n", א);
+    }
