Bug Report: Math expressions rendered incorrectly as right-to-left in Hebrew text
`Steps to Reproduce`

  1. Ask ChatGPT to write a mathematical expression, such as 2x^2 + 4x + 8 = 12, in English.

  2. Observe that the expression is correctly displayed in left-to-right order.

  3. Now ask ChatGPT to write the same expression while explaining in Hebrew.

  4. Observe that the mathematical expression is mirrored and rendered right-to-left, becoming something like 12 = 8 + 4x + 2^x2.

`Expected Result`

The mathematical expression should remain in left-to-right order (2x^2 + 4x + 8 = 12), regardless of the surrounding Hebrew text’s right-to-left direction.

`Actual Result`

The mathematical expression is incorrectly mirrored into a right-to-left order (12 = 8 + 4x + 2^x2), rendering it nonsensical and difficult to interpret.
