Motivation
Give the users a basic understanding on the concept of moved paragraphs and changes in moved paragraphs in the plain Diff view.
Proposed solution
Use CSS styles to replace the neutral marker symbols from the wikidiff2 output with better fitting, language direction aware icons/arrows.

Please take into consideration extensive, related discussion at T169325 with several different approaches and possible pitfalls of move markers.
@Jan_Dittrich since this is assigned to you, are you actively working on it? If not, can you unassign yourself, so one of the developers can pick it up?
For now we decided on using the Unicode arrows that where originally in the first diff2 version, just that we now can 'RTLize' them with CSS :-)
