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]
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
zero width non-joiner: U+200C: 8204 Yes: Context-dependent [11]? General Punctuation: Other, Format ZWNJ, zero-width non-joiner. When placed between two characters that would otherwise be connected, a ZWNJ causes them to be printed in their final and initial forms, respectively. HTML/XML named entity: ‌ zero width joiner: U+200D: 8205 ...
This is the zero width joiner em dash zero width non joiner template; it renders like this (without the quote marks): "—" . It works similarly to the HTML markup sequence ‍—‌ i.e. a zero-width joiner (which will not line-break and will not collapse together with words that come before the template), a long dash (known as an em dash), and a zero-width non-joiner (which ...
This is a convenience template for the zero-width, optional-whitespace character, U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER (‌). It is completely invisible in display, but has the effect of acting as a breaking point at an otherwise non-breaking situation, e.g. within continuous text inside a word that otherwise would possibly break.
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.
This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2. Though Unicode suggests a Word Joiner instead, zero-width joiner does practically the same thing and better matches the already-existing {}. An alternative is to simply use the HTML code ‍ in wikimarkup.
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 .
