With a bit of trickery using the RLE character (U+202B), you can get the
`(edited)` text on a message to be somewhere other than at the end of the
message.

## Tutorial

1. Copy the "right-to-left embedding" character
   ([U+202B](https://unicode-explorer.com/c/202B)) to your clipboard.
2. Open editing box of a message
3. Delete all text inside
4. Paste the character
5. Type the text you want on the right of `(edited)`
6. Press space and paste the character
7. Type the text you want on the left of `(edited)`
