single caret
In unidirectional text, the standard text-insertion caret. In mixed-directional text, one caret that appears at the place where the user will insert the next character, given the current keyboard script. At a boundary between two direction runs, the single caret can correspond to either the primary line direction or the secondary line direction. Because changing the keyboard script in that situation changes the caret location, the single caret is also called a moving caret or jumping caret.
