You probably want to install "Yudit", a UTF-8 text editor at the very least.
It's not so great as a pure "text editor", but it's aware of the weird
Unicode "start-right-to-left" and "push left-to-right" and so forth.  It
does have some oddities, but it shows you things that other editors just
plain hide from you.

yudit.org seems like its present website.
