Thanks for your input Richard,
Firstly, you are right, I was mistaken about ICU and the breakiterator
working for sentences (I just tried it right now and it does work, but just
not with the normal khan or period of Khmer rather it works with Latin
sentence markers which is not enough). I had
Dear Nathan,
Here are some new ideas, ordered by desirability, with number one being the
most desired, to number three being the least.
1) When a zero-width space is detected (U+200B), shut off ICU breakiterator
for Khmer spell checking for characters following the zero-width space

Hello Again,
Thank you all for your input!
This is a deeper problem than I first thought...sorry for the delayed
response, but I hope a solution can be found, even though the current ICU
breakiterator is not at 100% for Khmer.

Thanks Martin,
1. If you are shutting off the ICU breakiterator for text following, we
should probably also do it for text preceding. Thus if there is a ZWSP or
ZWNBSP (U+2060 WJ) anywhere in a text then ICU break iteration is disabled
for the whole sentence.
Yes, I think you are right. If

Dear All,
An automatic word and line breaker is very necessary for Khmer and
Thai because traditionally they have no spaces between words, and so
line-breaking and spell checking require the use of a zero-width space
between words which is counterintuitive for most native speakers, and
I'll cc this to the list if you don't mind, in order to archive it. I
have no immediate great ideas. But I wonder if a view-word boundaries
mode would be helpful, i.e. something that indicates the boundaries of
the words that the software thinks exist.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, a view-word boundaries mode would be very helpful (or
even incorporating the current view-field shading to include viewing
'gray marks' at the automatic ICU breaking so that users can see what is
being done). Would this be hard to implement?
Also, we are making some

I don't think we have any way to override our breakiterators from
extensions.
FWIW,
