Template:Zero width non-joiner/doc

The template {{Zero width non-joiner}} inserts the code ‌ literally, which produces a ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER in the rendered wiki-page.

Usage

This is a convenience template for the zero-width, optional-whitespace character, U+200C <reserved-200C> (&zwnj;).
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.

Known issues

In some browsers (known: IE 7.0.5730.13) the ZWNJ character shows as a pipe-like symbol, shown here immediately to the left of the comma in the accompanying diagram. Could be in styled heading only. Example from the Wikipedia Village pump (technical) (full discussion)
