 New Comment:

AFAIK, the "zero width space" may appear as an "unknown character" in some 
browsers, this is not incorrect regarding the Unicode specification. It may 
also be displayed as a space in other cases, like justified text.

There are aternatives to the entity ​ that fix this wrong behaviour, at 
least with Opera/Linux. They are more portable than the current numerical 
entity.

1. Use the tag <wbr> (official since HTML5, but cross-browser since a long 
time, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/wbr ).
2. Use a soft hyphen &shy; (this changes slightly the behaviour, as a hyphen 
will appear when the word is split).

I believe this belongs to Opera's bug tracker, as this is neither bug in PHP 
nor in PHP's website.

"Official W3C entities" refer to named entities, not character codes. #8203 is 
a valid code for character U+200B (which should not be rendered at all, so it's 
not a typeface issue).

Description:
------------
Since entity number 8203 is not an official W3C entity (reference: 
http://htmlentities.net/html/entities/) it does not render properly in some 
browsers (shows up as a box with an X).

Test script:
---------------
Use Opera in Linux to test.  Ex:
