Zero-width space. The zero-width space (ZWSP) is a non-printing character used in computerized typesetting to indicate where the word boundaries are, without actually displaying a visible space in the rendered text. This enables text-processing systems for scripts that do not use explicit spacing to recognize where word boundaries are for the ...
Soft hyphen. In computing and typesetting, a soft hyphen (Unicode U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN ()) or syllable hyphen, is a code point reserved in some coded character sets for the purpose of breaking words across lines by inserting visible hyphens if they fall on the line end but remain invisible within the line. Two alternative ways of using the soft ...
Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Braille characters. The Braille pattern dots-0 ( ⠀ ), also called a blank Braille pattern, is a 6-dot or 8-dot braille cell with no dots raised. It is represented by the Unicode code point U+2800, and in Braille ASCII with a space.
Then hold your finger down on that character, and you should see a small pop-up on the keyboard that shows all the variations of that character. For example, here are the different “a ...
Left-to-right mark. The left-to-right mark (LRM) is a control character (an invisible formatting character) used in computerized typesetting of text containing a mix of left-to-right scripts (such as Latin and Cyrillic) and right-to-left scripts (such as Arabic, Syriac, and Hebrew). It is used to set the way adjacent characters are grouped with ...
Non-breaking space. 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. In some formats, including HTML, it also prevents consecutive ...
These are the standard shortcuts: Control-Z (or ⌘ Command + Z) to undo. Control-X (or ⌘ Command + X) to cut. Control-C (or ⌘ Command + C) to copy. Control-V (or ⌘ Command + V) to paste. The IBM Common User Access (CUA) standard also uses combinations of the Insert, Del, Shift and Control keys. Early versions of Windows used the IBM ...
Select, copy, and paste the character using the GNOME Character Map. If not already installed along with GNOME, it is usually available as "gucharmap" (which can be installed with "yum install gucharmap" as root on a Redhat-like Linux distribution, for example). In KDE, a similar application is named "KCharSelect".
