Behaviour
How word joiner behaves
You cannot see whether this character arrived, so the properties that matter are the ones you can test for.
- Width
- Zero width.
- Line breaking
- Forbids a break at its position while adding no width — effectively a zero-width non-breaking space. It is the modern replacement for U+FEFF used in that role.
- How software treats it
- Invisible and non-spacing, so it survives most trimming but is regularly stripped by sanitisers that treat it as a formatting character.
- How to check it worked
- Narrow the container until the text wraps and confirm the join holds. There is nothing to see otherwise.
