ID: 66196 Comment by: francois dot gannaz at silecs dot info Reported by: akauffman at ne4u dot com Summary: Invalid Entity Number - 8203 Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N 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 ­ (this changes slightly the behaviour, as a hyphen will appear when the word is split).

"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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-28 22:25:33] akauffman at ne4u dot com 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.
