Thank you.
I would think it debatable whether this is out of scope. A logo symbol
is out of scope, I realise, but when a logo consists of individual
Unicode characters, that may be a different matter. And what if AEG
Israel wants to use this form as its company name in other contexts,
even in an IDN?
But actually this is a non-issue for Unicode. All of the characters
required are already defined, with the correct properties. The combining
vowel points are directionally neutral and so take the LTR direction of
the base characters. As far as Unicode is concerned, the vowels are
supposed (although not required) to be rendered below Latin base
characters in the same way as below Hebrew base characters. But this
doesn't work, at least on my system. See if it does on yours:

So the problem is an implementation one, and potentially one for domain
registries.
