Displaying zero-width characters
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:22:16 UTC
Current we filter these zero-width characters out and insert an empty glyph for them: /* Zero Width characters: * * 00AD SOFT HYPHEN * 034F COMBINING GRAPHEME JOINER * * 200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE * 200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER * 200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER * 200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK * 200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK * * 2028 LINE SEPARATOR * * 202A LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING * 202B RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING * 202C POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING * 202D LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE * 202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE * * 2060 WORD JOINER * 2061 FUNCTION APPLICATION * 2062 INVISIBLE TIMES * 2063 INVISIBLE SEPARATOR * * FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE */ We should have an option to not delete them and let them produce whatever glyph they have in the font, or a hexbox. It's a bit complicated though, as some fonts like Scheherezade from SIL "removes" some of these characters, ZWNJ specifically IIRC.
