The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible space between words, such as Thai, Myanmar, Khmer, and Japanese. [1] In justified text, the rendering engine may add inter-character spacing, also known as letter spacing, between letters separated by a zero-width space, unlike around fixed-width spaces. [1]
Zero width (also zero-width) refers to a non-printing character used in computer typesetting of some complex scripts: Zero-width joiner; Zero-width non-joiner;
A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).
A whitespace character is a character data element that represents white space when text is rendered for display by a computer. For example, a space character ( U+0020 SPACE , ASCII 32) represents blank space such as a word divider in a Western script .
EBCDIC, although earlier than ASCII, provided a breaking fixed-width space (SP), a non-breaking fixed-width space (RSP: "Required SPace"), and an alternate-width non-breaking fixed-width space intended for use in numeric lists with fixed-width (but not necessarily em-width) digits (NSP: "Numeric SPace").
The zero-width space character has a higher breaking priority than the hyphen character (-), so when using it in a phrase with hyphen, it is recommended to place a zero-width space immediately after each hyphen as well. There are two ways to use this template: With no arguments, i.e. {{zwsp}}, this produces a single zero-width space character
WhiteSpace is a Unicode character property specified in the Unicode Character Database. This template's initial visibility currently defaults to expanded , meaning that it is fully visible. To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
