    it is because my display name is:
    U+2067 : RIGHT-TO-LEFT ISOLATE [RLI]
    U+0020 : SPACE [SP]
    U+2067 : RIGHT-TO-LEFT ISOLATE [RLI]
    U+0020 : SPACE [SP]
    U+0075 : LATIN SMALL LETTER U
    U+2067 : RIGHT-TO-LEFT ISOLATE [RLI]
    U+0079 : LATIN SMALL LETTER Y
    U+006F : LATIN SMALL LETTER O
    it is also because "yo is following u".
