Find Dangerous Characters

The What's New for Release 17.30 demonstrates using Find Dangerous Characters for setting up one Color Filter. Can a knowledgeable user suggest if a filter should be employed for any other really nasty characters?
Don't want ALL possibles just those that are really a "clear and present danger".
Thank you ...

I'm currently using this filter, which includes the directional formatting code plus a homolog and others from another post here. But I noticed it includes cyrillic characters, which one might remove from the filter (not sure which code).
Code: Select all
"Bad Characters" name:<U+0425>;<U+200E>;<U+200F>;<U+202A>;<U+202B>;<U+202C>;<U+202D>;<U+202E>

Jerry - Thank you for sharing your knowledge and code. These days it is hard to feel really safe using a computer or virtually any on-line device.

You're welcome, IoU. But it's no huge knowledge on my part, I just picked up this stuff from the forum. I did come across the
X homolog on my own, U+0425, and was rather shocked at that. But the directional formatting code has been new to me. I'm not sure how dangerous these characters are --- but they are certainly a nuisance.
