Comment:
Upon further thought, I don't believe this qualifies as a bug in Django. I
don't see enough reasons to justify special casing `\u200b`, and I don't
think Django can do something that will fit everyone.
In order to resolve this problem in your project, you can:
- add a `clean_email` method in your form that does `cleaned_data['email']
= cleaned_data['email'].replace('\u200b', '')`
- run a batch cleanup of your data : `for obj in MyModel.objects.all():
obj.email = obj.email.replace('\u200b', ''); obj.save()`
