Non-printing characters or formatting marks are characters for content designing in word processors, which are not displayed at printing. It is also possible to customize their display on the monitor. The most common non-printable characters in word processors are pilcrow, space, non-breaking space, tab character etc. [1] [2]
In word processing and digital typesetting, a non-breaking space ( ), also called NBSP, required space, [1] hard space, or fixed space (in most typefaces, it is not of fixed width), is a space character that prevents an automatic line break at its position.
The word joiner replaces the zero-width no-break space (ZWNBSP, U+FEFF), as a usage of the no-break space of zero width. The ZWNBSP is originally and currently used as the byte order mark (BOM) at the start of a file. However, if encountered elsewhere, it should, according to Unicode, be treated as a word joiner, a no-break space of zero width.
Commonly occurring abbreviations (or acronyms) for control codes, format characters, spaces, and variation selectors. There are 354 such aliases, including 256 aliases for variant selectors (VS-1 ... VS-256). For example, U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE has alias NBSP. Presentation: in the code charts, the abbreviation is shown in a dashed box:
The most common word separator is a space (U+0020). However, there are other word joiners and separators that also indicate a break between words and participate in line-breaking algorithms. The No-Break Space (U+00A0) also produces a baseline advance without a glyph but inhibits rather than enabling a line-break. The Zero Width Space (U+200B ...
